These are antique pieces and are sold as such. Although VV does its best to highlight major flaws, minor imperfections should be expected reflecting the age and previous use of the piece.
This large-scale mixed media work by Swiss artist Daniel Gamperle (b. 1954) presents a compelling synthesis of gesture and structure, where expressive mark-making is held in tension with an underlying spatial logic.
Anchored by a dense circular core, the composition unfolds horizontally through fluid extensions and branching linear elements. The central form — evoking both an organic nucleus and a perceptual focal point — acts as a stabilizing force within an otherwise dynamic field. Surrounding marks oscillate between intuitive gesture and schematic precision, suggesting a dialogue between natural growth and constructed systems.
Gamperle's restrained palette of earthy tones emphasizes material presence over chromatic intensity, allowing texture, layering, and process to emerge as primary carriers of meaning. Subtle inscriptions and visible construction lines reinforce the work's investigative nature — offering insight into the artist's methodology while preserving formal balance.
Situated within the lineage of postwar European abstraction, this piece exemplifies Gamperle's ability to navigate between control and spontaneity — resulting in a visual language that is both deliberate and open-ended. A work that commands space and rewards sustained attention.

About the Artist
Daniel Gamperle (b. 1954) is a Swiss artist whose work explores the intersection of gesture, structure, and materiality. Working primarily in mixed media, he develops compositions that balance expressive mark-making with underlying systems of order. His practice reflects an ongoing investigation into space, tension, and the relationship between organic forms and constructed frameworks, positioning his work within the lineage of postwar European abstraction.
