Jean-Marc Schwaller’s monumental oil paintings are being shown at the MAHF: a magnificent exhibition. His paintings appear to be hewn and then smoothed as if with a knife but without the density of the material ever diminishing the translucency of his light. While for many the smaller pieces may prove to be ‘easier’ than the spaces of the larger paintings – and the artist does exhibit a series of smaller watercolours – he is at ease with himself when he can give unbridled rein to the freedom and the poetic spirit within him.
