'Mariscal Drawing Life' is showing at the Design Museum in London from 1 July until 1 November 2009. This is the first UK retrospective of Spanish designer and artist Javier Mariscal.
The Design Museum presents the first UK retrospective of Spanish designer and artist Javier Mariscal. Regarded as one the world’s most innovative and original designers of our time, Mariscal’s rich and diverse body of work spans kooky cartoon characters to stunning interiors, from furniture to graphic design and corporate identities.
The exhibition and graphics will be designed by Mariscal, promising an immersive experience for the visitor into the world and mind of Mariscal. The exhibition space will be a fully illustrated environment, rich with orchestrated scenarios and installations, each telling the story of Mariscal's pivotal projects, designs and the drawings that shaped them.
Sketches, designs, films and photographs will be on display alongside furniture and textiles. Mariscal will also design and paint an elaborate mural for the exterior of the Design Museum showcasing his unique vision and signature design style.
Mariscal’s intense relationship with drawing and illustration is central to his career and has become the basis for his designs over the last 30 years. He gave Barcelona its graphic identity as it emerged from the Franco era, illustrating a sunny and optimistic city full of possibilities. In 1992 he introduced the world to Cobi, the official Olympic mascot of the Barcelona games.
Mariscal has designed furniture for leading manufacturers such as Moroso and Magis, created interiors for bars and hotels as well as a retail and graphic identity for Camper and the interior of the recently opened H&M flagship store in Barcelona.

Ab 8. Juni 2009 sind Bilder des Schweizer Malers Sebastian Burckhardt in der GALERIE WESNER in Konstanz zu besichtigen.
Dort kann man unter anderem die Werke "Der Hafen von Lindau", "Die lachende Welle" und "Am Fuße des Berges" besichtigen - sehenswerte Einzelwerke, Diptychons sowie Triptychons.
Kompositionen, in denen Abstraktion und Realismus aufeinander treffen, gegenüberstehen und gemeinsam klingen. Symphonie der Formen und Farben, verschiedenen Melodien (Motive), Instrumente, das Orchester, der Virtuose, der Dirigent und der Betrachter tragen dazu bei.
Lindau Hafen 2009 Öl auf Leinwand
Sebastian Burckhardt entdeckt verschiedene Ebenen, um sie mitzuerleben. Mit jedem Pinselstrich werden Sekunden festgehalten. Farben klingen Töne, Gefühle - sie rufen Raumerlebnisse wach und arbeiten auf das Unbewusste ein. Zeit wird eingefangen, Alltag wird gegenwärtig, der Wind der Zeit, ein Hauch Ewigkeit.
Burckhardt, über ein großes Repertoire an ausgefeilten Techniken verfügend, komponiert Bilder wie ein Komponist seine Musik. 1950 in Bern geboren, lebte Sebastian Burckhardt nach seinem Studium - an der Münchener Akademie der bildenden Künste - von 1980 bis 1986 in Venezuela. Von 1986 bis 1994 lebte er in der Schweiz, sowie 1994/1995 in Israel. Seit 1995 lebt und arbeitet er wieder in der Schweiz im Raum Zürich.
