Frederic Tuten

The visual world of celebrated author Frederic Tuten is a break from the expected. On textural cardboard and canvas, dream-like landscapes and table settings in places as far-flung as Tangier and Tuscany play host to a parade of characters, objects, and shapes that converge in imaginative, sometimes mysterious compositions. In Tuten’s world, rendered in ink, colored pencil, crayon, pastel, and, more recently, oil paint, the imagination reigns supreme, along with the sheer joy of his artistic intuition. The catalogue compiles a vibrant selection of Tuten’ recent paintings and drawing and also includes short stories written by the artist to accompany his works and an interview with the curator Hans Ulrich Obrist.
