About the Artist

Portrait of Tobias SPICHTIG

Tobias Spichtig (b. 1982, Lucerne, Switzerland) is a Swiss artist based between Berlin and Zurich, celebrated for emotionally charged paintings, sculptures, and installations that pulse with intensity and intimacy. Drawing inspiration from fashion, theater, music, and subcultural iconography, he crafts spectral portraits and objects that blur the line between glamour and void.

Spichtig’s distinctive figures—elongated, vampiric silhouettes—emerge in works that explore presence, identity, and the gaze. He frequently uses everyday objects like sunglasses or resin-coated garments, transforming them into icons of desire, concealment, and memory.

His major solo exhibitions span international venues such as Kunsthalle Basel (Everything No One Ever Wanted, 2024), Jan Kaps Cologne (People, 2024), Swiss Institute New York (Good OK Great Fantastic Perfect Grand Thank You, 2021), KW Institute Berlin, and Tao Art Space Taipei.

Spichtig sees his practice as “material spiritualism”—an act of painting and making as emotional encounter, where sensation precedes sense and presence is suspended between fascination and detachment.
