Large-format watercolors have occupied an important place in Thomas Hauri’s work for some considerable time. Whereas at the outset they were figurative representations of deserted buildings, today multilayered sculptural and abstract forms, either process-based or meticulously planned out, come into being on the large-format paper. The watercolors are presented without frames and enter into dialog with the real architecture around them. With his particular choice of watercolor technique and paper format, Thomas Hauri has imposed a radical technical framework on his work. The artistic multifariousness lies within the work itself. The artist’s central preoccupation is to further develop the range of his own contemporary pictorial language without digressing into other media, techniques, and materials.
