LARGE SCALE PORTRAITS OF NATURE by Armin Grässl

His exhibition at the ArtHangar in Saanen features a remarkable collection of large-scale images that exemplify Grässl’s mastery of panoramic photography. If the name strikes a chord, it’s no wonder because Armin spent 25 years in Gstaad, where he captured the lifestyle of high society, mainly at the Palace. In his acclaimed book “Gstaad”, renowned figures such as Roger Moore, Henry Cartier Bresson, Gunther Sachs, Julie Andrews, Roman Polanski, and others praised his ability to capture Gstaad’s true beauty.

THE SUBJECTIVE IDEA OF BODY AND CALLIGRAPHY by Chris Calvet

Calvet’s mastery over the interplay of symbols and allegorical storytelling was brilliantly showcased in this exhibition called “Signe & Allegorie” exhibition at Hôtel de Rougemont.

What truly stands out is the way Calvet seamlessly blends the ancient element of calligraphy with contemporary concepts such as photography. The juxtaposition of traditional symbolism and modern themes creates a thought-provoking dialogue between the past and the present.

Furthermore, the exhibition’s setting at Hotel de Rougemont is a small stroke of brilliance. The elegant and refined ambience of the venue complements Calvet’s artworks, creating an atmosphere of sophistication and contemplation. The artworks seem to effortlessly integrate with the space, forming a seamless connection between art and environment.
