The Kunsthaus Biel is dedicating a tribute to the artist, art historian and curator Stefan Banz (1961-2021), who died in 2021. Following his last major exhibition here at the Kunsthaus in 2006, Stefan Banz, Malereien is focussing exclusively on his pictorial work and is showing around 15 paintings created between 2018 and 2021. These small-format paintings, painted in a very vibrant colour palette, reveal a number of the artist's obsessions, in particular his exploration of pictorial quotation and language. They also point to his passion for art history.
