Jürg Kreienbühl Switzerland, 1932-2007

Expressed at his beginning through an expressionist manner, his fascination for rot and destruction found a definite form in an objective realism, establishing an uncompromising picture of the socio-economic and environmental disruption in the second half of the 20th century. With the accuracy and hallucinatory sharpness of a scientist, Jürg Kreienbühl made himself the disillusioned painter of the old beliefs, the suburbs and the condemned worlds, the social outcasts and the ravages from urbanization and industrialization.
