Description

“Gardien de Lumière” (Guardian of Light) unfolds through a dialogue between two faces that respond to one another in striking symmetry. On one side, the Eye, heir to ancient protective symbols, acts as a benevolent shield watching over the intimacy of the home. On the other, an anthropomorphic Sun radiates its vital force. By giving the star a face, the artist grants it interiority: the Sun no longer merely shines : it observes. The formal resemblance between the iris and the solar disc establishes a reciprocity between the work and the viewer, creating a play of mirrors in which the piece becomes a living presence.

By merging solar iconography with symbols of prosperity and abundance, Anton Hasler creates a modern talisman. “Gardien de Lumière” (Guardian of Light) stands as a bridge between ancient legends and contemporary life : a poetic response to chaos, offering protection and illumination through its mere presence.

Behind the scene

This pursuit of coherence is reflected in a mixed-media approach that underscores the breadth of the artist’s practice. Acrylic, oil pastel and marker converge to articulate layered visual languages. Precise linework affirms the clarity of symbol, while softened, diffused passages introduce movement and breath. The resulting tension between definition and blur becomes a metaphor for perception itself : an attempt to reconcile fragmentation through a unified, contemplative vision.

ANTON HASLER

Anton Hasler (b. 1988, Switzerland) develops an animistic pictorial language inhabited by hybrid figures ; at once human, spectral and allegorical ; suspended within liminal terrains where dream and reality converge. His compositions unfold as symbolic ecosystems, dense with iconographic fragments and subtle citations drawn from art history, assembled through a consciously syncretic methodology.

Hasler’s practice operates at the intersection of mediums. Airbrush gradients and digital drawing converge with oil painting and processes such as digital printing, generating surfaces that oscillate between the tactile and the immaterial. This productive tension between material presence and virtual construction situates his work within a distinctly hybrid, post-digital aesthetic.

Within these oneiric landscapes, Hasler probes the condition of humanity in the Anthropocene. By dissolving stable coordinates of time and space, he constructs open narrative fields that resist linear interpretation and instead invite the projection of personal mythologies and collective imaginaries.
