Djeric-Hunold (*1988 CH / *1987 DE) is a swiss based artist duo. The duo operates at the intersection of painting, sculpture, and spatial practice. Their work centers on the composed moment, where irreversible gestures crystallize into form. Known for their radical monochromes and uncompromising reduction, they distill painting to its essence, transforming black into a living surface, a field where light, depth, and movement engage in continuous dialogue.
Trained in historical techniques such as fresco, sgraffito, and wall painting, the duo translates centuries of craftsmanship into a contemporary language of absolute rigor. Every mark is final: gestures are captured without retouch, ephemeral movement preserved in permanence. Polished surfaces shift from matte to gloss, orchestrating light as an active agent, revealing hidden textures, subtle gradations, and the fleeting beauty of the moment.
Positioned within a lineage that spans Art Informel, Lucio Fontana’s spatial ruptures, and the investigations of material and light in postwar abstraction, Djeric-Hunold articulate a vocabulary that is unmistakably contemporary. Their practice moves beyond the canvas toward a Gesamtkunstwerk, where painting, object, and spatial intervention form a unified field of experience. Black serves as a stage where material, gesture, and perception collide, embodying both permanence and transience, reduction and intensity.
Since 2018, and under the name Djeric-Hunold since 2021, the duo has exhibited internationally in Berlin, Paris, Ghent, and Zurich. Their works are collected across Europe, the United States, and Asia, and have been shown alongside Josef Albers, Gotthard Graubner, and Lothar Quinte..
