A former engineer living in the fast lane, Bastian Oldhouse is a Swiss painter and sculptor. With his surreal works of art, he creates metaphors. And when painting is no longer enough, he shakes things up with three-dimensional pieces.Shoevinist The artist is not obliged to provide a standard, immediately recognizable line. The materials to be used to achieve a particular goal must also be determined before a work is started. Whether pastel chalk, carbon pencil, acrylic or oil on paper or canvas – whatever the desired effect, the appropriate material must be used. The distinctive features that make his works unmistakable are a red stiletto shoe and – invisibly embedded in the colour – a transponder (microchip) that serves as identification.
