About

Geboren 1961 in Basel. Druckereimonteur in der Schweiz und Kurse an der Kunstgewerbeschule in Basel. Anschliessend studierte Hohler fünf Jahre an der Kunstgewerbeschule in Strassburg. Die erste Lektüre eines Gemäldes von Christophe Hohler verrät sofort sein Hauptanliegen: die Darstellung des Körpers. Das Gesamtwerk von Christophe Hohler zeugt von seiner persönlichen Entwicklung, die sich nun in der Frontalität des Gemäldes zeigt. Die Verkürzung der Malerei lässt die anatomische Realität beiseite und evoziert mehr Nacktheit. Warten, Meditieren, Beobachten, Spazierengehen, Lesen ... auf diese Weise stellt er die Figur zugunsten der bloßen Bildtatsache zurück. Sein Ziel ist es, eine prägnante Malerei zu präsentieren, in der Farben und Materialien fast zur Auslöschung des Themas führen.

Hohler Christophe

Born 1961 in Basel. Printer's assembler in Switzerland and courses at the School of Decorative Arts in Basel. Subsequently, Hohler studied for five years at the School of Decorative Arts in Strasbourg. The first reading of a painting by Christophe Hohler immediately reveals his preoccupation; the depiction of the body. Christophe Hohler's present paintings testify to his personal development, it is now in the frontality of the painting and in an abbreviation. The abbreviation of painting leaves anatomical reality aside and evokes more nudity than it does. Waiting, meditation, observation, walking, reading ... in this way he relegates the figure in favor of the mere pictorial fact. His aim is now to present a concise painting in which colors and materials almost lead to the obliteration of the subject.
