Paul Schwer (*1951 in Schonach) is a painter, but his practice oscillates between painting and sculpture. With his installations and colourful objects made of painted and heat-moulded PET or Perspex sheets, the artist turns his back on the flat picture plane and expands his work into three-dimensional space.

Colour, light and dynamic form converge and are interwoven into a playful, vibrant and complex artistic system that never ceases to probe the relationship between image and space, inside and outside, up and down, construction and deconstruction. Established orders, laws and boundaries between disciplines seem to be overturned, giving scope to new forms of painting in space.
