JUEL's fourth exhibition at St. Elizabeth's Church is entitled:
Come be my light
As a contemporary Swiss artist, I want to contribute to our momentous times and call upon my fellow human beings to form a global spiritual chain of light for peace, freedom, and compassion.
Where times are turbulent, where refugees are pouring into Europe in the numbers of a mass migration, where war, disruption, and spiritual derangement are commonplace, where individual life is no longer respected, where power and greed take precedence over our human values, there we, the citizens of the earth, we artists, must issue our call for peaceful commitment to peace and freedom.
I call upon you: come, let us form a chain of light together, for through our multitudes we can change the world, even in small ways, right now.
Since 1980, I have developed my own iconography by reinterpreting existing symbols. Through my perspective, I try to filter the present. For there is great meaning and substance in the everyday.
Born in Davos, currently with a studio in Basel, I have developed and shaped my own style over many years. Through travel and work in many countries, my painting has been subject to a wide range of influences.
To date, with over 350 works and major international exhibitions, I strive to position my artistic practice within a constantly changing world.
On the occasion of the exhibition at the Elisabethenkirche, I will be holding an auction of one of my original works (November 6–22, 2015). 100% of the proceeds will go to support Syrian refugees. I will personally oversee and document this project.
Sincerely, Juel
