Overview

About this book

The painter Sven Hoppler, who was born in Basel in 1995, has chosen a strikingly precise form of presentation. In his glaze paintings, he takes up picture types and gestures from the history of art with the aid of contemporary motifs. The paintings take up traditional iconographies, but surprise on second viewing with alienations or ironic refractions. In his works, Hoppler occupies himself with questions relating to the social, religious, (pop)cultural, and political. This fi rst catalogue on Hoppler’s oeuvre presents works created in the last few years, also including the triptych Unbemerkte Berufung, which is presented in detail as a foldout page. Text contributions by the art historians Mark Gisbourne and Beat Wyss provide insights into Hoppler’s work thus far.
