About the artist

Maurice Joss

Swiss

b. 1991

After completing his BA in Zurich, Switzerland, the artist began developing his professional painting career. His early work centered on narrative painting, featuring small-scale canvases with figurative and landscape elements. These pieces explored themes ranging from intimate, personal stories to more conceptual compositions. From the beginning, he placed strong emphasis on the craftsmanship of painting — its materiality, surface, and technique.

Over time, his artistic focus evolved toward abstraction, a transition that proved pivotal in his development. His current practice is defined by a pursuit of reduction and clarity. Moving away from expressive gestures, he concentrates on the fundamental relationships between shape, color, and line. Influenced by earlier explorations of letterforms, his recent works distill these into minimal, often monochromatic compositions — primarily in shades of black, gray, and white with subtle traces of hidden color. The interplay of contrasting angular forms creates tension and ambiguity between foreground and background, reflecting his interest in the poetic uncertainty of perception. Through the restrained use of color and form, the artist investigates the beauty of concealment over revelation, finding mystery in what remains covered rather than exposed.
