Yves Scherer (*1987, Ebikon) New York

Yves Scherer impressed with his spatially applied painting. Unusual, yet precisely installed in the space, Mermaid Lagoon surrounds us like a wild fantasy from a teenage bedroom. His panoramic image investi­gates the fascination of star cults by letting current protagonists such as Emma Watson or Kristen Stewart appear as fictional characters, taking on various roles from their films. He cleverly translates a media and pop culture phenomenon into the medium of painting and plays with the binary pairs of analogue and digital, inside and outside, private and public.
