RENÉ WIRTHS

Wirths maintains a focused studio practice centered on the sustained observation of individual objects. Working in oil on canvas, he paints directly from life, selecting a single subject and positioning it within the studio for the duration of the work. His method excludes photography or digital intervention. Instead, Wirths relies on close measurement, consistent perspective, and tonal control to establish each composition.

 

The paintings present their subjects plainly. There is no symbolic framing, no implied story. Each form appears against a neutral field, occupying the canvas with clarity and steadiness. The process reflects a commitment to visual attention and the articulation of form through time. His work engages the act of perception without mediation or excess.

 

Wirths approaches painting as a form of disciplined inquiry. Each work is the result of accumulated time in the studio, the slow development of surface, and an exacting process of observation. The artist maintains a minimal footprint in production, relying on durable, archival materials and avoiding waste. The objects he selects are often commonplace, yet their treatment invites new forms of attention and spatial awareness.

​

In architectural interiors, these paintings hold presence through structure and focus. Their scale and restraint allow them to integrate with spatial logic. Whether in residential, institutional, or corporate contexts, the works support visual quietude and long-term engagement. They offer points of focus that neither distract nor retreat, encouraging sustained reflection in both public and private environments.

 

His work is held in private and public collections across Europe. He continues to investigate the relationship between time, material, and observation through a practice grounded in the discipline of painting.
