“The special light conditions and the vast sky trigger in me a certain melancholy.” Andreas Rickenbacher
With a striking, true-to-scale and realistic technical precision, the artist Andreas Rickenbacher succeeds in depicting the monumentality of nature on his canvases. The inspiration for his mountain and rocky landscapes comes almost always from the Engadin, as is the case in the present work, with its view of Lake Sils. His landscapes exude the powerful, massive presence of the earth, balanced with the surrounding pure materials, such as water, and the clean, clear air of the mostly brilliant blue sky.
Through his initial professional training as a metal worker he acquired an eye and a sensitivity to physical materials, substance and matter. In 1985 Andreas Rickenbacher began to work in painting, after having studied at the school of design in Basel.
He executes his works by reproducing his draft drawings, watercolours or photographs on large format canvases, which result in these realistic works replete with matter.
