Meet the Artists in Zurich | The Mind Behind the Artwork

Asheé Art Gallery

By Katherine Pérez

Ever wondered what the artist was thinking? On November 27th, experience a unique artist talk. Meet the creators from our exhibition, discover their stories, and engage in a dialogue about art. Free admission.

Beyond the Canvas: Discover the Voice Behind the Art in a Unique Artist Meetup

Art is, above all, a dialogue. A painting, a sculpture, or an installation speaks to us from the wall, evoking emotions, questions, and sometimes, unexpected answers. But what if you could sit down with the one who created that piece and ask them: “What did you truly mean to say?”

At Asheé Art Gallery, we believe the artistic experience doesn’t end with contemplation. It is enriched by conversation, by human connection. That’s why we are delighted to invite you to an exceptional event: an intimate meetup and talk with all the artists from our current group exhibition. It will be held on November 27th at our venue in Zurich.

The Mystery Solved: Intention vs. Interpretation

One of the most fascinating dynamics in art is the gap—sometimes small, sometimes a chasm—between the artist’s intention and the audience’s interpretation. You, as the viewer, bring your own history, experiences, and sensibilities to the artwork, creating a unique and personal meaning.

But how does that compare to the initial spark that ignited the creation in the artist’s mind? At this meetup, you will have the rare opportunity to:

Hear first-hand the stories, creative processes, and concepts that shaped the works you admire in our gallery.
Uncover the “why”: Why that color palette? Why that material? What personal or social experience was the artist aiming to capture?
Understand the technique: Discover the challenges and innovative solutions behind each piece.

A Live Dialogue: When Art Comes to Life

Reading a description on a plaque is one thing. Hearing the passion in the artist’s voice is another. This event will not be a formal lecture, but an open and dynamic conversation. A space where you can:

Ask your questions: Is there something you’ve always wanted to ask an artist? Now is your moment. Break the invisible barrier between the creator and the viewer.
Contrast perspectives: Share your own interpretation and discover if the artist envisioned it similarly or if they surprise you with a completely different viewpoint. This is where art truly comes alive, at the intersection of different gazes.
Connect with the art community: Meet other art lovers, collectors, and critics. Enrich yourself with a vibrant and stimulating exchange of ideas.

A Unique and Unrepeatable Opportunity

Gathering the entire roster of artists from a group exhibition is a rare occasion. It is the perfect moment to deepen your understanding of contemporary art, to invest in your personal culture, and perhaps, to find that emotional connection with a work that transforms it from a decorative object into a meaningful piece for your life or collection.

Don’t let others tell you about it. Experience it fully.
