Beat Zoderer's 'HAIKU' Series at Bartha_contemporary

exhibition · 2026-06-19

Swiss artist Beat Zoderer unveils his latest 'HAIKU' series at Bartha_contemporary, which furthers his unique approach to geometric abstraction. While the title alludes to the concise nature of Japanese poetry, it serves as a conceptual basis rather than a direct representation of haiku. Each artwork features three overlapping translucent paint layers arranged within dynamic, irregular grid patterns. The final pieces are both subtle and intricate, showcasing depth through minimalism. Throughout his career, Zoderer has consistently questioned the notion of mathematical precision.
