The jury of zentral! has awarded the prize of the Kunstgesellschaft Luzern to Ramon Hungerbühler. The prize is linked with the Solo exhibition mounted the following year in the course of zentral! Ramon Hungerbühler often treats the history of painting quite playfully, referencing Pop Art, comics and sometimes abstraction. His entry consists of a series of seven paintings. These include painted planks of wood that bring together different levels of imitation: the canvas imitates wood and at the same time how it is depicted in the pictorial idiom of the comic. A painted wooden plank with colourful spots is an ironic comment on his own use of imitation and takes the game with styles and anecdotes from the history of art to the extreme.
