Art at the AMERON Swiss Mountain Resort Davos
At the AMERON Swiss Mountain Resort Davos, we not only have the incredibly beautiful and impressive mountain world, the fantastic history of the place, but also a museum in the immediate vicinity that honours a great artist: Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. We have used this synergy to realise a very diverse and very unique art concept with our Head of Design, Markus Hilzinger.
Below we show you a small selection of works of art that can be seen in our building:
SVENJA KARSTENS
Finely meshed structures, the contrasts of light and shadow and the antipode of organic and geometric shapes as well as lines – those are the reoccurring themes of her delicate papercuts. Nature, in this case specifically the mountain region, has found a way into the artist’s work; it is her source of inspiration as she has a strong personal connection to nature. The shapes of the mountains, the reduced colours, the empty and endless landscapes, the whiteness of the snow, the grey of the rocks – there is unlimited room for imagination while the spirit finds peace and rest.
RAINER MARTINI
Rainer Martini’s photographic career took its course with the start of the sports photo agency Sven Simon by Axel Springer jun., which brought him into the founding team in 1970. As early as in 1973, he started his own business as a photographer. Various book projects were published with legendary art directors such as Willy Fleckhaus and Rolf Gillhausen. Together with other significant photographers, Rainer Martini founded the picture agency LOOK in 1989, marketing also his own works to various magazines and marketing agencies worldwide in cooperation with Getty Images. During the past years, the coverage and landscape photography with its austere and clear graphic picture language has become the principal area of his work.
VIOLETA JUÁREZ
She has an eclectic approach to photography. Violeta Juarez captures everything, because to her, everything is interesting. In the process of taking photographs, she follows her mind as well as her heart. This approach makes her works appear staged and coincidental at the same time. Darkness plays a crucial part, as it is infinite in itself and enduring. Without shadow, light cannot be interpreted and without light, colours are invisible.
MARIA MUÑOZ
The sculptural pieces of wall art and room-specific wooden installations explore visual perception using compositions of abstract dimensions and coloured structures. The piece “Everyday Geometry” fills the empty areas of the sketched cubes as coloured surfaces, changing from the two-dimensional paper to wood, the third dimension. The previously sket - ched cubes gain volume in the shapes of wall reliefs. Joined by hinges, this art’s modules form a curve that allows them to be detached from the wall – they reach into the room. The surface is no longer flat and reflects the light in the room.
