Heinz Allemann
Heinz-Peter Kohler
Ruedy Schwyn

Heinz Allemann is an artist from Eriswil. Press reports and registry records describe him as an artist working in Eriswil with a studio; his practice spans painting, printmaking, plaster and digital work. He was also active as a printer of art editions, notably in the circle of Franz Eggenschwiler.

Heinz Allemann is represented on the E19 map with *Evolution*. In the absence of a specific artist’s statement, any classification remains tentative: the title suggests development, change and artistic processuality, whilst the research points to a multifaceted practice centred on colour and materials.

Heinz-Peter Kohler is a Swiss artist whose work has been documented in numerous publications. His drawings, watercolours, prints, woodcuts and linocuts, as well as his later series of works in watercolour and ink, are particularly influential. His work has been featured, amongst other places, at the Neues Museum in Biel and in monographic publications.

Heinz-Peter Kohler is featured on the E19 map with *The Unknown within the Familiar*. The title reflects a practice that seeks out new moods, forms and visual states within the seemingly familiar; the specific nature of the E19 presentation can only be vaguely discerned from the photograph.

Ruedy Schwyn, born in Zurich in 1950, has lived and worked as a freelance artist in Nidau since 1989. Alongside his visual art, he works as a colour consultant and set designer and is active on cultural committees; in 2009, he was awarded the City of Biel’s Culture Prize. His practice centres on perception, the body, material, colour and the nature of existential questions.

At E19, Ruedy Schwyn presented *Tierra-X*, a series of works reflecting on the behaviour of primary planetary materials and natural forms in Cabo de Gata and the Tabernas Desert in southern Spain.
