Beni Bischof

Kunsthalle Sankt Gallen, St. Gallen

Large-scale works


comunicato stampa

In recent years the St. Gallen artist Beni Bischof has made a name for himself with witty and visually expressive works. He moves predominantly within the classical art genres of painting, sculpture and drawing with much humour and an evident propensity towards chaos. Despite his great interest in pop and underground – for example in the magazine "Laser" which he publishes himself – the content of Bischof’s work cannot be reduced to one theme. He is planning installation-based, large-scale works for the Kunst Halle and thereby showing a previously little known side of his work.

Beni Bischof (* 1976, St. Gallen) studied at the Hochschule für Gestaltung, Zurich (today's Zurich University of the Arts), as well as the Schule für Gestaltung (art school) St. Gallen. Solo exhibitions of the artist took place at the following galleries and institutions: Sommer & Kohl, Berlin, o.T., Raum für Aktuelle Kunst, Lucerne, Milieu Artspace / Galerie, Bern (2010), MURO, Geneva (2009) and Kunstraum "SCHALTER", Basel (2007). Further, he participated in various group exhibitions, amongst them at the following galleries and institutions: Kunstraum Düsseldorf (2010), Perla Mode & Dienstgebäude, Zurich, CAPC Museum of Contemporary Art, Bordeaux, Bear Ridgeway Exhibitions, San Francisco (2010), Galerie Paul Hafner, St. Gallen, Sommer & Kohl, Berlin, Fotomuseum Winterthur, Cabaret Voltaire, Zurich, Kunstgriff, Art Books Store, Zurich (2009).
