About Bruno Kurz

Bruno Kurz creates lucid color spaces, which are characterised by fine differentiation and strong luminosity.  The special quality results from an intensive working process with metal as the base onto which he adds glazes with acrylic, pigments and resin. His theme is the transmission of light and its emotional impact, so that landscapes are tangibly present. Bruno Kurz explores the fundamentals of nature: atmosphere, change and renewal. The works have a special liveliness. They do not only appear before our eyes, but also in ourselves. Since 1987 Bruno Kurz has been present at numerous exhibitions and fairs in Canada, Germany and Switzerland. His works are part of several private and public collections.
