Do you ever have days when it feels like you wake up one minute and it’s time to go back to bed the next?  Days when the time just passes, too busily or hastily, and all too quickly it’s gone.  And we hardly remember it.  The paintings of Zurich artist Andy Denzler draw us into a world where time seems to stand still.

Bedroom Portrait Face Down, oil on canvas, 120×140 cm

Denzler’s work is based in classical representation of the figure but the artist incorporates gestural twists through each canvas, leaving us with the impression of a paused moment.

Something Waits For You to Breathe Again, oil on canvas, 120×140 cm

Captured forever is the loveliness of each instant, the simple moments of the mundane, the stillness of a stretch of quiet and calm.
