A snail crawls up the stairs and looks at you in a friendly way. For me, snails represent the antithesis of our society's time and performance pressure. Stairs also slow things down. To climb stairs, we need to use more effort and focus on the steps. A staircase can be an opportunity to consciously focus on our body and our breathing and thus escape time pressure for a moment. The snail keeps you company.
Brainfart ist ein Streetart Kollektiv aus Zürich und gleichzeitig ein Verein zur Förderung von Urbanart. André Bex, Facundo und Nahuel Morales sind ein Künstlerkollektiv, das 2011 an einem warmen Sommerabend am unteren Letten in Zürich "geboren" wurde. Eigentlich wollten die drei einfach nur zeichnen und ihre Kreationen auf Papier bringen. Ihr Ziel war es, die Welt von einer einfacheren, witzigeren und farbigeren Seite zu zeigen. Das war vor über 12 Jahren. Heute ist Brainfart an diversen Anlässen präsent, bringt Urbane Kunst der breiten Masse näher, organisiert Urbanart Workshops.
Fredinko is an artist, cartoonist and advertiser. He published his first cartoon at the age of 14 — since then, outlines and deadlines have defined his everyday life. In addition to his later career in advertising, he worked on an artistic signature that he himself located “somewhere between pop art and neo-cubism.” This aesthetic originated in a father-son conflict: The father, an architect from the old Bauhaus school, required strict geometric forms, while the rebellious son relied on organic, free lines. In Fredinko's work, both poles are now merging, sometimes order dominates, sometimes chaos. The Swiss with German-Hungarian-Slovakian roots became known primarily for his live performances, when he fills huge canvases with idiosyncratic drawings and invites the audience to color along. He now lives with his family in Adliswil, where he also runs his studio.

Passion can be fertile ground for works of art of all kinds. This is also the case with woolwomen.

There are still plenty of trees, benches, fountains and much more that a city has to offer.

Artabax, besser bekannt als Bax, ist ein Schweizer Künstler mit Wurzeln in Bern. Schon als kleiner Junge malte er gerne, um seine Fantasien besser zu visualisieren.

Bax lässt sich für fast alles faszinieren, hält dies gerne in einem Bild fest und holt auch aus Kunstwerken der Vergangenheit Inspiration.
The situation in the underpass called for a completely new approach, as the viewer cannot see the entire picture at once and only see a section at a time. That's why I decided on a storyline where it should be irrelevant which image you see first. I wanted to convey more of the feeling of bees to the wider world. The associated story can develop individually for each viewer.

The name of the city of Frauenfeld served as inspiration for the interpretation of the rural woman. A contemporary take on a nature-loving woman dressed in a variety of materials and textures, such as wool and plaid shirts. The various rings and precious stones on her fingernails form a counterweight to the earthly vision of the work and pose a profound question of BEING or appearances. Technique: The work of art was incorporated into the wood by the artist using a grinding machine.

This is a historic building that has been in the hands of pharmacists for centuries. Around 1830, an owner had his initials immortalized in gold on the stair railing. Carl Stein. In 1863, pharmacist Gustav Schröder bought the house. He was not only a pharmacist, but also responsible for the quality control of cow's milk. The artist's illustration takes up the story of this pharmacist. A farmer with her cow downstairs. She brings the milk to the test. In addition to the historical aspect, the work also contains a love story. A love story between the milkwoman and the alchemist. She is very much in love with him but he is too busy to notice the advances. If it's up to the artist Robis, the story could perhaps have a good ending. The pharmacist just has to finally listen when the raven croaks: “She loves you, she loves you!”
Sajo creates absurd, funny and surprising visual ideas from a moment that can never be planned. The artist likes to visit places that inspire him; the mystical forest with its mushrooms and animals, the secluded beach or the neighborhood bar around the corner, where the comedy of everyday life inspires me. From these impressions, he creates sketches, which are then transformed into art prints, posters, three-dimensional wooden figures or wall paintings.
David Kümin, alias Chromeo, was born in 1982 and grew up in Winterthur. Fascinated by murals and illegal graffiti as a child, the viewer became an actor: As a teenager, he grabbed a spray can, which marked his start as an artist. He completed a Master's degree in Fine Arts, Public Spheres and Major Art Teaching at the Lucerne Academy of Fine Arts. It is important to Chromeo that his works have a depth of content and not only have a decorative character. With his work, he wants to inspire the viewer to engage with the work.
Composition, sampling — the relationship between music and painting is not only reflected in the linguistic engagement with the two disciplines. For the muralist Chromeo, the relationship between the two forms of musical expression is obvious. Both require dramaturgy, innovation, craftsmanship. The composition of the wall painting was heavily influenced by circumstances such as the format of the wall and the two trash cans that stand in front of the painting. Accordingly, the main eye notes, the two hands, are painted on the far right in order to visually avoid the buckets. As a template for the two hands, Chromeo deliberately used stock photos (images from a page on which photographers offer their photographs for use). This should involve the aspect of sampling, in which an existing photograph by a third person is painterly interpreted and rearranged.

The inspiration for this painting I have found from the pages of books that revealed the fascinating world of tree communication. Through my readings, I discovered the remarkable way trees connect and share information with one another. In a forest, a special network of fungi links the roots of all the trees, enabling them to communicate and cooperate as a community.This connection allows them to communicate and collaborate as a species, working together to survive. Trees have been around for a very long time and we often underestimate their importance. We can actually learn a lot from them. They can be our guides during difficult times, like a lighthouse showing us the right direction.Throughout history, as human beings we have faced many crises such as wars and climate changes, and we have only been able to survive as a species by working together. Just like the trees, we too need to come together and support each other to thrive.I believe it's crucial to remember this, especially when we encounter tough times. In the end, our survival as a species depends on our capacity to learn from the interdependence found in nature and our willing to collaborate for a brighter tomorrow.
