PLUS-ONE Gallery presents a second solo exhibition by Tatjana Gerhard at the gallery (South).

Tatjana Gerhard, born 1974, has been living and working in Ghent, Belgium, since 2010. Born and raised in Switzerland and with a partly Croatian background, she started her artist life there after studying at the art academy in Zurich. With (participation in) exhibitions in Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, Italy and France, her work is gradually making its way into the international landscape of painting. Even in her early paintings Tatjana Gerhard's work exists by the grace of the rawness of human existence. With a ruthless gaze, her work dissects man and his existence in all its facets. In a visual language that is related to that of, for example, Maria Lassnig, Francis Bacon, Lee Krasner, Philip Guston or Louise Bonnet, Gerhard takes up a position in the art of painting with great accuracy.

Tatjana’s work was exhibited in solo exhibitions at ‘Édition Populaire’ (BE), BE-PART (BE), Deweer Gallery (BE), Rotwand (CH), Project Room (FR) and Helmhaus Zurich (CH). She was also part of group exhibitions at S.M.A.K. Ghent (BE), Barbara Seiler (CH) Les ballets C de la B (BE), Musée d’art de Pully (CH), Whitehousegallery (BE) Ron Mandos Gallery (NL), Herrmann Germann Conspirators at Galerie Rosenberg (CH) and did an exhibition with Roger Raveelmuseum. Gerhard is part of several public collections, such as Julius Bär Kunstsammlung (CH),Credit Suisse Kunstsammlung (CH), Kunstsammlung der Zürcher Kantonalbank (CH), John Jones Artcollection (UK), Helvetia Kunstsammlung (CH), Roche Collection (CH), Kunstsammlung des Kantons Zürich (CH), Kunstsammlung der Stadt Zürich (CH), Kunstmuseum Bern (CH), Museum zu Allerheiligen, Schaffhausen, Sturzenegger Stiftung (CH), Mu.ZEE (BE), S.M.A.K.
