Art Werger

An image of Philippe Petit, tight-rope artist, in his walk between the Twin-towers in New York (1973). This print relates to Werger’s current series on the Circus (11 additional prints can be seen on his here).

Werger has received over 250 awards in national and international exhibitions. Art Werger’s prints show a keen observation of quiet and normally unnoticed moments. Pedestrians passing each other, lost in their own worlds. Sunlight filtering through a garden landscape, or the reflection of lights on wet pavement after a storm.

His prints are masterful at capturing a mood, and suggesting a story for the viewer to complete. In a totally different vein, his color etchings play with the effects of light. His prints of swimmers show an uncanny ability to create the shimmering play of light underwater on a summer day.
