semina rerum — Irène Preiswerk gallery

The gallery (founded in 1994) exhibits, promotes and sells works in diverse media (painting, drawing, sculpture, prints, photography, video) by contemporary artists. Characteristics are a certain inwardness, serenity, silence, melancholy, beauty and poetry and a formal language of esthetics, which may lead the viewer to a different and sensitive perception of the world. As the gallery name semina rerum* suggests: „seeds of things“ is understood as a metaphoric expression for the functions of art as messenger from wordless regions, as a mirror of nature in Becoming and vanishing, as a revelation of the inner nature of things and as a bridge to knowledge of existence and life.
