Kurt Zeltner

Zeltner was born in 1967 in a farming village near Neuchâtel in Switzerland. After school he attended the School of Applied Arts in Biel /Bienne and the School of Design in Bern. Zeltner was never able to get used to the mechanisms of the “artist’s guild” and as a simple country child in the midst of a family steeped in arts and culture, he always remained an outsider. He rebelled against the art establishment, believing that his rural character was the only thing that was true and should be preserved. He closed himself off to many things whose value he only later recognized. This dichotomie - and the associated homelessness - is partly reflected to his works to this day. While he was the “artist” at home, he always remained the “peasant” among artists.
