Photography

On the occasion of the group exhibition Traces, gallery manager April Dell chatted to exhibiting artist Ali Eckert about the nostalgic imagery in his works and his signature technique for creating the textures and special effects that spark this emotion. Traces runs from January 31 - April 12, 2025.

Tashi Brauen is a Swiss-Tibetan photographer, painter, and sculptor based in Zurich, Switzerland. His work combines the fragility of paper, spontaneous folding and manipulating surfaces with bold color and texture to reveal the artist's affection for geometric forms, shifting perspectives on dimension and exploring the interplay of scale, impact and details.

 

Meeting Tashi for the first time at his exhibition in Bern at the Museum of Fine Arts, our easy conversation led the way to a recent visit at his studio in central Zurich. There, we discussed his upcoming exhibition in Berlin at Ronewa Art Projects, his work and process as well as sharing a personal glimpse of his life as an artist.
