Anton Hasler has developed an animistic style of painting, populated by figures that are both human and allegorical, coexisting in a space between dream and reality. His visual vocabulary, rich in symbols and references to art history, is constructed using a resolutely syncretic approach.
The techniques he uses interact with each other: airbrushing and digital drawing meet oil painting and other processes such as digital printing. This tension between materiality and virtuality places the artist's practice within a fundamentally hybrid aesthetic.
Through this dreamlike universe, Anton Hasler questions our humanity in the Anthropocene era. By abolishing spatial and temporal references, he opens up a vast field of interpretation, conducive to the emergence of personal narratives and myths.
His painting challenges the boundaries between nature and culture, giving rise to horizontal, polyphonic, and protean narratives at the crossroads of the human, the technological, the living, and collective memory.
Through this approach, Anton Hasler invites us to reinvent our view of life and rethink our place in a world and cosmos to be shared.
