BRODMANN, Vittorio
Water Under the Bridge

Vittorio Brodmann’s pictorial worlds are characterized by figures whose emotional turbulences seem familiar. They are creatures, often grotesque, strange, melancholic, desperate, the whole range of humanity with all its contradictions. His images are full of wit, but they do not make one laugh out loud.

Water Under the Bridge is the first comprehensive monograph on Brodmann’s consistent devotion to painting. It is published following the exhibition of the same name at the Kunsthalle Bern (2016) and offers the first overview of fifteen years of painting.

Texts (English and German) by Mitchell Anderson and Ariane Müller, both artists and authors, as well as by Valérie Knoll, curator and co-editor of the publication, open up a variety of perspectives on Brodmann’s approach and the influences that shape his independent visual worlds.
