Brigitte Gautschi presents the luminous power of abstract transformation at SWISSARTEXPO 2026 in Zurich

From September 2nd to 6th, 2026, Brigitte Gautschi transforms the SBB Event Hall into a space of resonating light.

Brigitte Gautschi is a Swiss artist whose work is deeply rooted in the exploration of the intangible and the atmospheric. Her presence at the upcoming SWISSARTEXPO 2026 marks a significant moment for contemporary abstract art in Switzerland, bringing a sense of meditative depth to the vibrant atmosphere of Zurichs Main Station. By centering her creative practice around the core concepts of light, resonance, and transformation, Brigitte Gautschi creates a visual language that transcends the boundaries of the physical canvas. Her artistic background and her connection to the Titlis region inform a unique perspective on clarity, alpine light, and the immense power of nature. She does not merely paint; she constructs environments where the viewer can lose themselves in the subtle interplay of color and space, finding a quiet sanctuary of reflection.

The technical execution of her works is as complex and layered as the emotions they evoke. Utilizing a sophisticated variety of materials, including oil, spray, and mixed media on substrates such as wood panels and linen paper, she builds her compositions through a meticulous process of stratification. This layering allows her to create transparent color spaces that seem to glow from within, inviting the eye to peer through different levels of depth. In the impressive work Lichtschwelle, which measures 105 by 75 centimeters, the combination of oil and spray paint on a wood panel creates a textured surface that captures and reflects light in ever-changing patterns. These layers act as a bridge between memory and the present moment, reflecting the artist's profound interest in the energetic qualities of our surroundings and the resonance they create within us.

Specific artworks like Violete Constellation and Kosmische Lichtinseln further showcase her ability to balance rigid structure with ethereal lightness. In these pieces, Brigitte Gautschi explores the concept of the constellation not just as an astronomical arrangement, but as a metaphor for the connections between energy and human experience. The work Lichtrausch captures a sense of ecstatic movement, where the color seems to vibrate with a life of its own, while Lichtspuren on linen paper offers a more delicate, linear investigation of how light leaves its mark on the world. Every brushstroke is a deliberate step in her investigation of how atmosphere influences human perception. The result is a body of work that feels alive, inviting the observer to step across the threshold and enter a world where energy finally becomes visible to the naked eye.

What makes Brigitte Gautschi's art truly unique is its ability to serve as a catalyst for a very personal journey of discovery. Her abstract worlds are not static images but evolving experiences that resonate differently with every viewer. By stripping away representational forms, she leaves ample room for the audiences own memories and emotions to fill the spaces between the layers of paint. At the SWISSARTEXPO 2026, visitors will have the opportunity to experience this resonance firsthand. Whether it is the delicate traces found in her paper works or the robust, atmospheric presence of her large-scale wood panel compositions, the work of Brigitte Gautschi stands as a testament to the transformative power of art. It is an invitation to pause, breathe, and discover the light that exists within the layers of our own reality.

Visitors are cordially invited to experience Brigitte Gautschi's latest works in the SBB Event Hall at Zurichs Main Station from September 2nd to 6th, 2026. This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to engage with an artist whose vision captures the very essence of atmospheric beauty and spiritual energy.
