Biography

Hans Rudolf Weber is known for being a dynamic and perfectionist visionary amongst Swiss artists, with a tireless creative urge. Whilst calmly growing he opposed the normative differentiation criteria of art currents and prefers to display himself with the use of a variety of work in painting and sculptures, which deserve to be looked at in more detail. A sense of cheerfulness, ease, profundity and empathy of lasting value are conveyed.

Hans Rudolf Weber abandoned the starting point of conservative scenic painting known as “Classic Art” in 1989, by pursuing the path of the abstraction. Initially known as “Transit Art”, "Spont'art", "Drop Art, "Muse Art", "Wrap Art" and "Space Art" he later organized his work conventionally and his features in corresponding categories such as "Abstractions", "Characters", "Bubbles", "Interlaced Initials", "Landscapes", "Muse Art" and "Digital Prints". Since 1996 he has let his imagination freely roam the three-dimensional level by making sculptures out of Plexiglas, Scotchcast and steel.

Since 1993 muses have strongly influenced Hans Rudolf Weber’s work. In total four women have elevated his artistic creations. They helped him to achieve a deepened, diverse and original development of his work.

The development of the artwork requires the artist to listen to his inner self, which is quickly followed by an intense sense of workmanship. This results in an exhilarating ease of depth. Impressions and sensations from professional and interpersonal contact and experience, occasionally also from politics and the wonder of nature are re-experienced and expressed in an original artistic range.  He spent time on the computer thanks to the fascinating virtual revolution by using art related software and thus new techniques. This is how he managed to create uniquely strong landscape paintings as well as portraits. When it is not possible to project the templates on canvas either by drawing or painting, he uses a high quality printer, which prints the templates onto film or directly on forex plates.

His intense, relentless and artistic production led Hans Rudolf Weber to his first exhibition in 1983. After this he also had following exhibitions in Switzerland and abroad.

The construction of an original gallery and studio house, worth seeing in its own right, was built around the idea of the artist hosting recurring open houses and is an outstandingly designed building based on the artist’s ideas and sketches and built by architect Alex Tirziu. 

Hans Rudolf Weber’s art of zeitgeist is full of riddles and awakens curiosity in its viewer. In vain one attempts to guess the perceived sentiments. One is left to interpret the sense and content from a big scope. The playful and positive note traverses his whole unique works of art.
