Tatjana Gerhard, 'Glashaus': PLUS-ONE GALLERY

Gerhard’s figures exhibit a deconstructed quality that reflects the fragility and impermanence of human existence. Tatjana Gerhard emphasizes the importance of contemplating the human form and emotions through the medium of painting. Her paintings often blend elements of the grotesque with humor, and they challenge the viewer's perception of the familiar by presenting figures that appear both human and otherworldly.

 

Tatjana Gerhard (b. 1974, Zürich), is a contemporary Swiss artist who lives and works in Ghent. Her paintings are a spontaneous expression of emotion translated into surrealist, abstracted human forms. Guided by intuition and automation, Tatjana Gerhard explores the boundaries of figuration.

Tatjana Gerhard has had numerous solo shows, among others “The power of illusion-the illusion of power” at PLUS-ONE Gallery, Antwerp and “Schutzwall” at Mayday, Basel, CH in 2022. She has participated in a great number of group exhibitions. In 2024, she was part of group exhibitions at the S.M.A.K Ghent, Art Museum of Bern and two exhibitions at PLUS-ONE Gallery, Antwerp. She has also exhibited at galleries and museums in Zürich, Aachen, Mechelen and Amsterdam.

Tatjana Gerhard’s works are part of numerous private and public collections such as S.M.A.K – Museum of Contemporary Art Ghent, Baloise Art Collection, Credit Suisse Art Collection, Kunstmusem Bern, Mu.Zee Ostend and the Flemish Government.
