Anton Wilhelm Hersche

Born in 1957 in "the city of art," Basel, Switzerland, I have been practicing wild art skills for more than 50 years in parallel to a professional career as a banker and entrepreneur in Switzerland, Germany, the USA, Singapore, and Japan.

Now, finally committing 100% of my time to creating contemporary art, I draw based on my "senses and emotions," on paper, glass, wood, linen, sea beach wood, garbage wood panels, skateboards, etc.

Influences

My work draws inspiration from aesthetics of Basler Fasnacht and in native arts of the American Indians and Aboriginals of Australia. By following the scratches of materials that bear traces of emotion ranging from pain to satisfaction.
