Born in 1943 in Courgenay (France), he lives in Mulhouse-Pfastatt (France) and Basel (Switzerland).

 

Remy Zaugg's work centres on the theme of perception. His purpose is to question the meaning of the image, of what we are given to see. In exploring reading (the words silkscreened on the picture surface, and then the visual reading of the materials and colours), we make sensorial and intellectual discoveries. It is the perception of the artwork that makes it exist, that activates it, and thus questions the viewer.

 

Invited to occupy a ground-floor room at les Abattoirs – Musée Frac Occitanie Toulouse, Remy Zaugg proposes a new choice of his paintings, for the first time placing his oldest works in relation to his most recent ones.
