NOT VITAL was born in 1948 in Engadin, a Swiss region coiled in the mountains. His childhood between snow, rocks and animals strongly influences his work still today. His grey-white palette expresses itself in pieces made of noble materials like gold, marble, silver, bronze or in more common components such as paper, plaster or glass. This dialogue between textures is truly central in his practice : the artist describes himself as a sculptor, despite the fact that he creates paintings, drawings, prints and buildings. They are all means to his ambition : enhance the elegance of one single piece of marble, explore the mirror effect of stainless steel, discover the roughness of paper, experiment the plaster as a manifestation of snow.
