Mattania Bösiger (*1991, CH) lives and works in Basel. In his paintings, he explores the interfaces and overlaps between digital and analog realities. The illusion of space and the credibility of images are recurring themes in his work. Mattania repeatedly uses processes of translation and manipulation. Questions arise about the status of images and content that have repeatedly crossed the boundaries between the digital and physical worlds. Or what can be seen when supposedly familiar objects or motifs are created purely digitally and never existed physically.
Mattania's work has been exhibited at the following institutions, among others: Kunsthalle Bern, CH (2024); Kunstmuseum Thun, CH (2023); Kunstmuseum Solothurn, CH (2022); Kunsthaus Grenchen, CH (2022, solo); Kunsthalle Basel, CH (2021). Bösiger is a recipient of the Aeschlimann-Corti Stiftung Förderstipendium (2024), the Canton of Solothurn Bildende Kunst Förderpreis (2022), and Artist Resident at the Cité internationale des arts, Paris, FR (2020).
