Zurich (pts001/16.08.2025/11:00) - From August 20 to 24, 2025, the vibrant art of Swiss painter Joachim Oettli will grace the halls of Zurich's Main Station at SWISSARTEXPO 2025. With his electrifying work "Intergalactic Flow," Oettli invites viewers into a cosmic journey of healing and introspection.
Born in the canton of Thurgau in 1965, Joachim Oettli brings a rich background in social pedagogy into his artistic practice. His career in this compassionate field profoundly shapes his creative philosophy: art, he believes, is not merely to be observed, but felt deeply within the soul. This conviction imbues his work with an emotional potency that transcends aesthetic appreciation, connecting instead with the innate human need for healing and wholeness. For Oettli, art is not an ornament to life but a vital part of its very fabric. His guiding principle is simple yet profound: Art heals.
Oettli's painting "Intergalactic Flow" exemplifies his unique blend of vision and technique. Created using acrylic and automotive lacquer on plexiglass, the piece pulsates with an energy that seems to defy its static form. Swirling galactic motifs, metallic sheens, and bold chromatic contrasts create a sense of cosmic movement and otherworldly dimension. The choice of plexiglass as a medium reflects his drive to explore beyond traditional limits, adding a sleek modernity and ethereal depth to his compositions. The result is a mesmerizing interplay between material and immaterial, form and feeling, chaos and harmony.
While distinctly contemporary, Oettli's work echoes timeless themes of transformation and interconnectedness. The "flow" in his featured painting is not just spatial, but emotional and spiritual—an abstract river of consciousness that mirrors the viewer's own internal voyage. His use of automotive lacquer, typically associated with machinery and speed, lends the piece an industrial shimmer, grounding the ethereal in the material world. This duality of celestial vastness and tangible substance is what makes Oettli's work so compelling.
At SWISSARTEXPO 2025, Joachim Oettli offers more than just a visual experience. He offers a moment of reflection, a breath of cosmic clarity in the bustling heart of Zurich. Visitors are warmly invited to experience "Intergalactic Flow" in person and connect with the healing vision of an artist who paints not just with color, but with compassion.
