Tobias Spichtig
Tobias Spichtig (b. 1982, Lucerne, Switzerland) lives and works in Paris.
Tobias Spichtig draws inspiration from the world of fashion, theater and music, and works in a variety of media, including painting, sculpture, installation, and photography. Using everyday icons such as sunglasses, pets, and flowers, as well as installations that mimic domestic landscapes such as "refrigerator mounds" and "mattress fields," he explores the intersection between the private and the public. His enigmatic portrait series, brimming with intimacy, blur the lines between the mundane and the glamorous, testing the boundaries between the individual and the collective.
His works have been exhibited internationally at Tao Art, Taipei; the Kunsthalle Basel, Basel; Lafayette Anticipations, Paris; the KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin; the KINDL - Centre for Contemporary Art, Berlin; the Swiss Institute, New York; the Boros Foundation, Berghain, Berlin; the Kaleidoscope, Spazio Maiocchi, Milan; the Centre d'art contemporain - la synagogue de Delme, Delme; SALTS, Basel; the Museum Folkwang, Essen; the Dortmunder Kunstverein; Malta Contemporary Art, Valetta; the Museum of Contemporary Art in Belgrade, Belgrade; the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; the Kunsthalle Wien, Vienna; Ludlow 38 (Goethe Institute), New York; the Ursula Blickle Foundation, Karlsruhe; and the Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art, Rotterdam.
