Adrien Chevalley: Uninhabited Spaces / City SALTS

At its Garage and Watertank spaces at City SALTS, Kunstverein Salts in Birsfelden (Basel, Switzerland) presents a solo exhibition by the artist Adrien Chevalley. Adrien Chevalley, born in 1987, lives and works in Vevey, Switzerland. With a Master’s in Fine Arts from Geneva University of Art and Design (2012), Chevalley transforms ceramics, a craft he learned in his parents’ pottery studio, into experimental works blending tradition and innovation. His latest pieces fuse ceramics with bas-relief drawing, creating hybrid creatures that dance between technology, nature, and industry—joyful yet tinged with unease about the future. From a massive flower sculpture tied to a school’s hemp rope to a toxic-hued mural and sci-fi-inspired portraits, his art sparks reflection on transformation and harmony. Curated by Samuel Leuenberger and Benedikt Wyss, the exhibition at City SALTS is running until 1 June 2025.
