Michaël Lucerne

Michaël Lucerne (*December 9, 1964, in Dijon) is a Swiss painter, sculptor, graphic artist, and object artist with French roots, who grew up in Lucerne.
His works are attributed to Neo-Expressionism. His brushwork is fast and wild. In his works, the boundaries between abstraction and figuration merge.

In addition to expressive, vividly colored paintings in the cycles Nude, Faces, Cars, Madonna, Sixtina, Luna, Niambura, Sharmila, Heros, Monroe, Geishas, Moulin Rouge, Hommage pour Le Corbusier, Day and Night, Brother Klaus, William Tell, Pilatus, Paddle Steamers on Lake Lucerne, Chapel Bridge, and cityscapes of Lucerne, Zurich, Bern, Chur, Geneva, Tbilisi, Muscat, and Paris, Michaël Lucerne has created an extensive body of graphic work. Many of his paintings and sculptures are located in public spaces.

The MEISSEN porcelain manufactory in Germany invited Lucerne, as the first Swiss artist, to design and realize his own collection under the working title “White 2017”.

Since 2020, Michaël Lucerne has lived and worked alternately in Lucerne and Champagney. He combines his two places of work and residence, Switzerland and France. An ambassador, then—not only in art.
