Adventures between Reality and Dreams, Realism and Poetry

In the dynamic between reality and dream, Ulrich Bärtschi’s multifaceted body of work unfolds in TOMZAK Visionen. His approach to painting takes life itself as its point of departure. Each work becomes an adventure—an invention of a world of its own—where realism and poetry converge.

Inspired by Robert Walser’s character of the giant Tomzack, who emerges as an artistic companion, Bärtschi develops a distinctive visual language that allows viewers to move between inner experience and outer reality. His works invite us to perceive a deeper, universal form beneath the visible surface - an artistic journey through imagination, memory, and existential inquiry.
