After the success of his first Museum exhibition ever, Gallery Walter Keller in Zurich/Switzerland is proud to show the first gallery exhibition of François Berthoud in Zurich, where he lives and works. The Museum of Design Zurich announced Berthoud’s exhibition this summer with the following words: „Swiss artist François Berthoud is among the outstanding fashion illustrators of the present day.
Born in 1961 and trained at the School of Applied Arts in Lausanne, Berthoud soon developed a distinctive style for the graphic transcription and illustration of contemporary clothing, shoes, handbags, perfumes, and accessories. His expressive, aesthetically appealing linocuts, drip pictures, and computer graphics have accompanied countless fashion campaigns – from Yves Saint Laurent to Bulgari or Sonia Rykiel. In these works the depicted object and Berthoud’s visual interpretation of it complement one another to generate atmospheric total works of art that substantially shape our perception of a featured product and contribute to its marketing success. (...) Particularly fascinating is the use of complementary analog and digital techniques to produce masterly results.“
