Melancholy between dream and reality

Inleiding
Works of art by Michael Albisser and Marianne Chiu.
Michael Albisser is a painter from Winterthur whose work is characterized by a profound examination of history and a critical view of the present. He spent the years 2017 to 2020 in Diessenhofen before moving to Winterthur.
His works address existential questions and social tensions: Suicide, trauma, loneliness, depression, social pressure and the hypocrisy of Western affluent societies.
Many of his paintings bear a deliberately sombre, melancholy signature, inspired by the darker sides of life that otherwise often remain hidden. For Albisser, art is a dialog that should touch, shake up and inspire reflection. Stylistically, he combines classic painting techniques with modern forms of expression: Acrylic paints, glazes and airbrushes meet digital studies with 3D programs such as Blender. Inspired by the Renaissance, Romanticism and Realism, he creates works that oscillate between tradition and contemporary criticism, transforming the darkness of the interior into timeless pictorial worlds.
Marianne Chiu alias Mali, who also lives in Winterthur, is a late-career, well-traveled artist. Her marriage to a Chinese man gave her a deep insight into Chinese culture. To learn the Chinese language, she traveled to northwest China in 2009. Back in Switzerland, she discovered her passion for painting through a friend. Her artistic development is mainly self-taught and is complemented by a one-year training course at an art institute in the USA. Mali works mainly in the techniques of mixed media and oil painting.
Mali's colorful paintings speak a powerful yet gentle language. They are the result of a soulful introspection that opens the door to a magical cosmos full of animals, flowers and mythical creatures. Her works express a mystical connection between all living beings. They are images of a tender hope to find a place where the subtle, the fragile and the sensitive have a place.
