Harald Naegeli. Ungehorsam
30.04.-04.06.2022
Harald Naegeli. Ungehorsam explored drawing as the central thread running through Harald Naegeli’s practice.
The exhibition highlighted the breadth of his graphic work, from rapid visual notes to highly elaborate sheets, and positioned even his well-known graffiti as drawings: line-based interventions shaped through a dialogue with their support. It emphasized his search for essence through contour, movement, structure, and spatial tension, while also drawing attention to his sensitive engagement with paper, surface, and material traces. The exhibition revealed a singular universe of forms — plants, animals, landscapes, clouds, and motion studies — rooted in both intense observation and a sustained dialogue with art history
