2023

Madison Square Park, New York, USA

Ana María Hernando's installation in Madison Square Park featuring sumptuous volumes of tulle netting. Referencing ballet tutus and bustles that primp the female body for male eyes and, perhaps, conceal its secrets, the installation also recalls the natural forms of clouds and waterfalls. Even the New York Ballet had a performance next to their installation.

Marc Chalmé creates mysterious landscapes, still lifes and figurative pieces. He has mastered his approach to these subjects. Perhaps one of the most impressive and notable aspects of his work is his handling of light, which is, at times, almost eerie. The light often seems to glow organically from within the painting and the viewer can nearly feel this.

I chose this title because this time I want to show the beauty and diversity of the Still Life. Into this silence that remains an action is introduced. The film and video allow an extension of the dimension of the image. Nevertheless, the question of the meaning of the picture as a reproduction of reality is asked anew in the confrontation with the old masters.

Gallery Elle, St. Moritz, Switzerland

Jani Leinonen’s chapel made of snow and light to worship the winter. The stained glass windows of combine elements from old stained glass windows of sacred spaces all over the world and offer the viewers ancient wisdoms that could help us through the greatest problems that the humankind is facing. The igloo is a unique experience and has a calming effect.

Gallery Elle, St. Moritz, Switzerland

Jani Leinonen is known for his playful works criticizing capitalism and our self centered consumerist society of today. The artist often pinpoints timely issues and dares the viewer to think outside of one’s comfort zone by taking the most saturated aspects of our world. A play of light and color for the eyes. The glass works are particularly impressive.

Gallery Elle, St. Moritz, Switzerland

The artist is accustomed to combining nature and the art of perception. Whatever, but with you a neon on metal structure is placed in the garden against a backdrop of the scenic Engadine Alpine landscape. Her perennial theme of contrasts and contradictions transforms this historic castle. The work looks different during the day and at night.

The view of the sky is the focus of the interdisciplinary exhibition From Gerhard Richter to the Cloud in the Museum Sinclair House of the Art and Nature Foundation. Gerhard Richter, Ian Fisher clouds as a symbol of motion, space, freedom, lightness, energy, but also as an indicator of weather and climate. Richter and Fisher together are magical.

With Liquid Light I like to set an example for the light, which for me is essential in works of art. The light becomes Nicola Staeglichs magic wand, which brings the colors to life emotionally. It illuminates the room and depending on the incidence of light, the colors appear different behind the glass. Her inspiration comes from Matisse church windows.

2020

Gallery Elle, St. Moritz, Switzerland

The curation represents a dynamic range by American artist Olivia Steele's iconic neon creations, the latest series of magical cloud paintings by Canadian artist Ian Fisher and iconic mirror sculptures by French artist Mathias Kiss. Together, the pieces harmonize with the play of light and warm up their effect with each other.

I have a great desire to present you pieces from the sea and the sky at this summer exhibition. Combining a very happy attitude to life with these two themes.

The Canadian artist Ian Fisher has been painting accumulations of condensed water droplets and ice crystals, i.e. clouds, for years. He dedicated his paintings to flattering moments of magnificent nature. Inspired by the light of the Italian sky his new paintings can be seen at the iconic Villa Serbelloni in Bellagio known as the pearl on Lake Como.

French artist Mathias Kiss is on a mission to break down the barriers of tradition. Deformation of the rigidity of the frame with inversion of the relationship to the work and the painting supposed to accommodate it. The frame comes to the foreground and questions the relationship between the work of the worker, creator of the support and the artist, creator of the work.

Ian Fisher's cloud paintings are dreamy. For this exhibition in Zurich and St. Moritz he has painted very special works inspired by the light in the Engadin. A triptych has been created, each cloud tells its own story but it is in the eye of the beholder to see something different in it, contrary to its title. They are classic blue works.

2018

Boucheron, Paris, France

When Boucheron opened their first boutique on Paris Place Vendôme in 1893, it was important that they had a space as filled with light as the jewels they created. Appropriately, it was to this original inspiration that artist Mathias Kiss returned when he created the light-filled installation to celebrate the launch of the jewelry house new Quatre Radiant collection.

Gallery Elle, Zurich, Switzerland

For ten days in Zurich, the artist turned the gallery floor into heaven. You enter the rooms weightlessly, but it is much more than just a performance. It is the artist's code, which he interprets as the classical sky into contemporary art. It takes on a new form. The sky changes every day with every stroke of the brush he conjures up a magical ensemble of colors.

An incentive to create and escape from one's condition, Just Do It is the reflection of a personal journey. The work invites its observer to question the relationship between tradition and modernity, where the thing well done and heritage should not be considered as brakes but an incentive to innovate.

In this incredible exhibition, Matteo Gonet is joined by another international big shot of the art scene: Mathias Kiss. ​​His spatial sculpture "Diamant" fills the bay window of the main room and seems to impale the delicate "Balloon" lamp by Matteo Gonet. Kiss' mirror clouds complete the exhibition.

Château Mandelieu la Napoule, France

Ana María Hernando take over the Château de la Napoule where she installed works such as Flood, spilling out tulle from entryways and emerging from arched window frames. The installations evoke the movement of water and natural landscapes with their billowing layers and organically shaped forms like the waterfall outside the castle that is breathtaking.

A selection of new clouds paintings by Ian Fisher from the USA, a sculpture by Shirin Abedinirad from Iran and a planetarium by Commonplace Studio from the Netherlands. And another surprises too. The beauty of the sky collides with the beautiful mirror sculptures, reflecting colors and rays of light. Stars complete the picture of the universe.

Celebrations is the title of my new Show to escape from this dramatic year to bring flawless Beauty in to our homes. Therefore i selected artists such as Valéria Nascimento, Mathias Kiss, Christina Oiticica among others. All of them in my eyes reconnect us to Nature in a very magical way.

Museum Palais des Beaux Arts de Lille, France

The artist Mathias Kiss portrays these inclassable characters who are loved with grace and elegance between art and craftsmanship. In Lille there is an immersive poetry installation that plays with our perceptions. A gigantic pool made of water with mirrored leaves that reflects the sky, which he also created. A feast for the eyes.

Mathias Kiss shows his fantastic installation in combination with his cloud paintings. Martin Luther King's speech is the figurehead of the American Civil Rights Movement and, like no other, stands for the evils of racial segregation and inequality. The artist interprets his speech with his art and the clouds as a sign of this freedom movement.

Christian Dior, Paris, France

In Christian Dior's private showroom, the mirror by Mathias Kiss was hung beautifully in combination with flowers falling from the ceiling. In conjunction with the fragrances of Dior in a very classic French architecture, it gave the mirror a special frame. A visit is only possible by prior appointment for guests of the House of Dior.

Private Residence, Paris France

Nobody knows how to stage a room better than Mathias Kiss. ​​The wall is a sky that he painted himself. The falcon looks out into the depths, the door is only ajar so that you have the feeling that someone lives there, a woman perhaps who has put her cheerful yellow shoes in the corner. The story is left to the imagination like a screenplay.

Gallery Elle, Zurich, Switzerland

With this work, Mathias Kiss again approaches a purely minimalist approach which expresses less through opposition than through a dialogue between classical heritage with which he is familiarized and the modernist spirit with which he is familiar. Without using the 90° angle, he creates diamond-like mirrors.

2015

Crillon, Paris, France

A unique piece created for the Hôtel de Crillon which was measured and created in such a way that one feels that contemporary pieces belong to this classicist space which can still be visited upon request. This piece breaks the regularity of architecture and allows brutalism to enter into a very elegant and intellectual luinterpretation.
