Florian Froehlich, born December 17, 1959, in Pfaeffikon in Switzerland, is a contemporary artist who creates paintings, sculptures, stained-glass, and installations. == The artist == Florian Froehlich was, when starting out in art, strongly influenced〔''phArt'' October/November 2007, article ''Florian Froehlich -Un ordre subtil''〕 by the School of Paris, in particular by artists such as Maurice Estève, Charles Lapicque and Nicolas de Staël. He had had contacts with the world of art on a regular basis from childhood on, as he is related to the famous Zurich art dealer Peter Nathan.〔NZZ, article January 5, 2002, (« Ein Leben für die Kunst – Zum Tod von Peter Nathan » )〕 He trained in medicine at the Universities of Zurich and Lausanne until 1996 and thereafter developed a progressive and lasting activity as an artist in tandem with his professional life.〔 He is living since 1996 in Porrentruy in the Swiss Jura. His close friendship and collaboration〔''phArt'' 2002, article (« La connivence créatrice de Jacques Minala et Florian Froehlich » ) – exposition in Delément in 2002〕 with the Swiss artist Jacques Minala〔(Web page ) Jacques Minala on Visarte website〕 lead him to become familiar with the technique of stained glass. Since 2003, he is member of the Swiss Stained Glass Artists Society Verarte.ch〔(Web site ) of the Swiss Stained Glass Artists Society〕 which led to several group exhibitions in the Vitromusée Suisse de Romont,〔(Web site ) of the Vitromusée Suisse de Romont〕 in particular in 2009.〔''Le Temps'' August 22, 2009, article (« Actualité de l’art du verre » ) wrote by Laurence Chauvy〕 From 2003 to 2009, Froehlich worked intensely on the "Saignelégier Steles" for the catholic church in Saignelégier, Jura Switzerland, project which received national funding from the Swiss Confederation,〔''Illustré,'' Februar 25th 2009 article (Vitraux à l'air libre ) wrote by Blaise Calame〕 and which was executed in collaboration with the glass master-craftsman Roland Béguin〔(Web site ) of Roland Béguin〕), and the metalwork artist J.-P. Scheuner using experimental techniques.〔 The novel concept of the stele allow to keep all the church's luminosity by occupying only a very limited space.〔 In contrast to normal stained glass which is not lit, Froehlich is using in Saignelégier artificial light: indeed, three steles, called the Golgotha group, are strongly backlit.〔 Every of the 21 four-meter high steles is associated with a text from the bible〔 commented by Father Bernard Miserez.〔(Web page ) devoted to Father Bernard Miserez on Exulnet〕 The dalle glass was produced specifically for this project, in Waldsassen (Germany).〔 The Saignelégier Steles are a novel contribution to contemporary sacred glasswork.〔(Florian Froehlich – Inauguration of the Saignelégier Steles ), canal Alpha TV program, Februar 19th 2009 program〕〔''Glaswelt'' October 2008, article (Dallglas ist wieder im Kommen )〕 Occasionally, Froehlich creates in relation to world events, such as for the Jura leg of the Tour de France 2012: he showed an art installation exhibited to thousands of spectators over a 24-hour period on July 8, 2012. In 2012 and 2013, his work was presented at the ''Berliner Liste'',〔(Web site ) of the Berliner Liste〕 a reputed and selective international art fair.〔(Web page ) showing the ''ACHTZIG'' gallery which includes Froehlich〕 Since 2010, Froehlich has worked very regularly with the ACHTZIG Gallery for Contemporary Fine Art in Berlin.〔(Web site ) of the ACHTZIG gallery in Berlin〕 The ACHTZIG Gallery staged a solo exhibition of Froehlich's work in December 2013, entitled "World Theatre-Theatre World". At his occasion a book with his same title has been published by Editions Le Renard par la Queue,〔(Web site ) of editions ''Le Renard par la Queue''〕 Lausanne, directed by the author Ferenc Rákóczy in a contemporary design by Chloé Donzé and contributions by the journalist José Ribeaud. Currently, Froehlich's work is focusing on the human being and the interaction between individual and crowds.〔book ''Florian Froehlich : World Theatre – Theatre World''. Editions ''Le renard par la queue'', CH-1005 Lausanne. No ISBN 978-2-940533-00-8.〕 Froehlich creates a kind of virtual human microcosmos notably by micro-sculptures integrated in painting-sculptures and sculpture-paintings. In fall 2013, Froehlich had the novel idea to suggest the scenic integration of microsculptures in watches. This idea was officially presented to Swiss watchmakers,〔Article (Art et horlogerie ) about the integration of microsculptures in watches, ''Quotidien Jurassien'', 2013〕 with the support of Pascal Bourquard and BIWI. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Florian Froehlich」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
