Hermann Sigg: Abstract Rebel

To achieve the stillness and symmetry that define his art, Hermann Sigg had to burn a big bridge

Swiss artist Hermann Sigg, at 76, continues to produce transcendent examples of abstract expressionism. His talent for distilling the landscapes of his homeland and Asia into pure essence of form and color is captivating. Sigg’s travels in Asia inspired most of the last decade of his work, which is currently on view at the Irving Arts Center through an arrangement with the Arts Council of Switzerland.

 

The exhibition, which debuted in New York City at the Westwood Gallery last October, displays dozens of paintings, collages on paper, and found-object sculptures created during the last 10 years.
