Romanticism, melancholy, nature and oil paintings are the concepts that characterise the work of the Swiss artist Leopold Rabus (1977). Through the mix of contemporary and old art, his work forms a dialogue with art history. Rabus’ work looks realistic but often takes on a surrealistic and parodic character. In this exhibition, his work is placed in the perspective of several works selected by him from the museum.
"The cradle of the confederation" Chamber of the Swiss national Council by Charles Giron (1859-1914), 1901.
