Flurin Bisig: Gestaltloses Verlangen

The Desparate Kingdom of Love

"Flurin Bisig's artistic approach is that of a seeker. With impressive openness, he faces up to the adventure that begins with a pencil on paper, then manifests itself in bricollages made of studio materials, but also takes shape in wood, sheet metal and even marble. At the same time, interesting sculptural moments in the artist's surroundings reveal themselves to the roving gaze of the attentive observer. They echo his own work and at the same time provide new impulses. For Flurin Bisig, the juxtaposition of these activities leads to far more than a mere differentiation of sculptural possibilities. From the very beginning, he did not understand his work in a modernist sense as a continuation of an artistic discourse, but rather as a reaction and a condensation of the living world - he therefore likes to equate his works with a song album from the history of rock, a passage from a philosophical work or a poem. Perhaps it is better to approach Flurin Bisig's work from the outside than from the inside? Forms arise from the situation, from experience, and are not derived from art-immanent regularities. Accordingly, the work to date appears disparate in terms of form, material and execution. The inner context is derived from Flurin Bisig's attitude towards the world, and not from an indispensable artistic intention. His sculptures are his way of expressing himself, which is nourished by different sources, can take on different forms and gives room for his own experiences - also on the part of the viewer. The path to these works is anything but straightforward." Stephan Kunz
