Hello
I am Arturs, or art created by Urs. I love to express myself and my view on life and society in art. Maybe my background influences the way I paint, always conceptual and not just l'art pour l'art. With a few exceptions as always in life. Enjoy my work and visit me anytime in Wald.
My Story
Arturs, also known as Urs Jaermann, is a Swiss artist born in Lausanne, a French-speaking part of Switzerland. Though his early life was influenced by the German-speaking region of Zurich, he later pursued a career in advertising. This career, close to art yet not fully immersed in it, was chosen partly due to his family's apprehensions about the financial instability often associated with artists. Ironically, some of his granduncle's artwork is now exhibited in the art museum of Basel.
After leaving advertising, Urs Jaermann rediscovered his passion for painting. He primarily works with acrylic on canvas, creating pieces that reflect his conceptual approach to art. Now, with a dedicated studio, he fully embraces his artistic journey. Arturs' works are showcased in various exhibitions, and he has received accolades for his artistic achievements.
Work
Urs works primarily with acrylic on canvas. His art is characterized by a conceptual approach, often infused with a touch of sarcasm or critical humor. Jaermann's work spans various themes including portraits, the state of the planet, and interpretations of nature. His portraits, for instance, are unique in their satirical and humorous depiction of people.
In addition to traditional painting, Jaermann explores contemporary themes such as climate change and societal conflicts, presenting these issues through a more abstract lens. He also delves into nature-inspired art, striving to offer a fresh perspective in a genre that has seen extensive exploration.
Some of his works are created digitally and printed on art paper. This diversity in medium and subject matter reflects Jaermann's innovative spirit and commitment to documenting and critiquing the world around him through his art​.
