Not all artists studied the past greats as inspiration. Richard Paul Lohse was one of the unusual artists whose trajectory was not typical. The story behind is work is based in graphics and mathematics. A new and intimate exhibition of his work is now on show at the MASI Lugano in Switzerland. Explore this significant artist and his work in <em>Numbers In Colour: Art Meets Maths and  Equals Beautiful<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8be1e1dede6fce3868569ab87d76ce5e wp-block-paragraph\">There is often a form of sobriety around artists and their practice, up until they become famous, and sometimes even after. If they didn&#8217;t go to the &#8216;right school&#8217; or learn under the right mentor, then maybe their work inst just &#8216;quite good enough&#8217;, but not all <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/12-famous-weird-buildings-to-visit-on-the-world-map\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">successful <\/a><\/strong>artists follow the same path to success.

Eventually, Lohse, an autodidact, painted expressive, modernist block colour still lifes. But behind these images was a most unusual starting point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6f2f76c7fa6132b64f9a7bc18791d750 wp-block-paragraph\">He was among the pioneers of modern <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/the-most-beautiful-safe-place-for-artists\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Swiss<\/a><\/strong> graphic design and was successful enough ot open his own studio whilst simultaneously creating his artworks.

It was only around the age of forty that Lohse actually began his own journey into painting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-d02db9d0ef5e12fbe26213b54099cb7a wp-block-paragraph\">Working with mathematicians to explore ideals, he utilised mathematics and logic to create canvases based on a systematic, objective, and democratic <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/artists-words-and-language-make-for-beautiful-art\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">visual language<\/a><\/strong>, without exposing any artistic bias or projecting any preconceived personal ideas within them.

The new&nbsp;MASI exhibition brings together more than fifty paintings presented over the time span of the four central decades of Lohse\u2019s career, from the 1940s until he died in 1988.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3c2933e08669d14771e75b5c86da1885 wp-block-paragraph\">Accompanying the large-format painting are personal drawings, sketch books and notes that give an insight not just into the working practice, his mathematical process, but the man himself. It is the juxtaposition of these intimate items that helps bring alive the curated collection. These small <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/5-underrated-clothing-items\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">personal items<\/a><\/strong> help explain the philosophy of the artist, which was, for him, &#8216;the method was the art&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/05.-Richard-Paul-Lohse_MASI-Lugano.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"582\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/05.-Richard-Paul-Lohse_MASI-Lugano.jpg?resize=580%2C582&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-186017\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/05.-Richard-Paul-Lohse_MASI-Lugano.jpg?w=1010&amp;ssl=1 1010w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/05.-Richard-Paul-Lohse_MASI-Lugano.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/05.-Richard-Paul-Lohse_MASI-Lugano.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/05.-Richard-Paul-Lohse_MASI-Lugano.jpg?resize=768%2C771&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e7d022f1fc1a6bf782d93056ee9ded83 wp-block-paragraph\">By viewing these small, cherished items, the viewer is drawn into the hypnotic notions that stand behind the intricate works, helping bridge the gap between concept and work. This level of work in the curation by Tobia Bezzola and Taisse Grande Venturi brings a new facet, an insider view, to this very intimate collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1add31d70b39fd854fdcb9cb50192e35 wp-block-paragraph\">The exhibition as a whole marks the artist\u2019s international career crossing borders from Zurich to Amsterdam, S\u00e3o Paulo to Venice, via Kassel and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/new-york-milan-and-paris-the-other-fashion-runways-25-i\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">New York<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-29bc4b58030677d59c46754f5fd24615 wp-block-paragraph\">A central moment is the three large versions of&nbsp;Serielles Reihenthema in achtzehn Farben, from 1982, on the occasion of his participation in documenta 7 in Kassel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6a9141747b4794a34b4d4ba3857ee170 wp-block-paragraph\">These giants highlight his systematic approach, his chromatic language and the relationship between formal structure and political dimension. Repetition of colour and scale, painted as if they could go on forever, where their enough space, mesmerise and have an almost &#8216;pixilated effect&#8217; on the viewer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c2814a55d3f84e7be38d755e18b7820d wp-block-paragraph\">The exhibition and its accompanying book, by Tobia Bezzola and Taisse Grandi Venturi, bring this almost revered artist out in the open, as well as explore in a way for all to understand, engage and admire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5d74fbf2768334482ac2230f13b93feb wp-block-paragraph\">Lohse\u2019s visual language was very much part and parcel of his political beliefs, later in his life becoming one of the leading voices of the Z\u00fcrcher Konkrete (School of Concrete Art&nbsp;) group and Social equality, alongside ethical and political ideals, also were part and parcel of his artistic practice. This fusion led him to develop a personal form of expression, a strict internal organisation of composition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7f43a03243fc1ea0fabe662073ea50e0 wp-block-paragraph\">From the 1940s until he died in 1988, this show project brings together more than fifty paintings, personal sketches from the artist&#8217;s foundation and even some from private collections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-15c1a2087ca08d07a579dcc4cf82dc8a wp-block-paragraph\">His work also made a significant impact on the development of graphic design. He combined art with a political and moral awareness, and he was quite the activist. Here in this personal and insightful exhibition, the man behind the organisation, behind the mathematics shines through, enabling a fresher, insightful and personal exploration to blossom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0ff41eace151de3f4ac6b8a1f1d70af7 wp-block-paragraph\">Find everything about the<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masilugano.ch\/en\/masi\/in-corso\/agenda\/events\/evento~mostre~2025~lac~Lohse~.html?_gl=1*1r05owz*_up*MQ..*_gs*MQ..*_ga*MTc1MjIwODk5LjE3NjA5NjM0NjQ.*_ga_LMZRED64PM*czE3NjA5NjM0NjMkbzEkZzEkdDE3NjA5NjM3MzkkajYwJGwwJGgw&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjwu9fHBhAWEiwAzGRC__pIQxUX6QfF2vyeJ1OL5AQ32_uKj4elRKbiYERb1diHFOBL4Vi3FhoCxdQQAvD_BwE&amp;gbraid=0AAAAAoeRTnegnMaGov5eTCF6A7MfLq2Sf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Richard Paul Lohse exhibition here  <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.masilugano.ch\/en\/masi\/museo\/news\/2025\/arte-in-ticino.html?gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=22467112443&amp;gbraid=0AAAAAoeRTnegnMaGov5eTCF6A7MfLq2Sf&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjwu9fHBhAWEiwAzGRC__pIQxUX6QfF2vyeJ1OL5AQ32_uKj4elRKbiYERb1diHFOBL4Vi3FhoCxdQQAvD_BwE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MasiLugano.co.en here<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.masilugano.ch\/masi\/in-corso\/agenda\/events\/evento~mostre~2025~lac~Lohse~.html\">Here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a8c83777f0d22bde8d5fd59e333a98ef wp-block-paragraph\">If you enjoyed reading <em>Numbers In Colour: Art Meets Maths and Equals Beautiful<\/em>, then why not read <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/love-the-magical-hotels-that-bring-childhood-dreams-to-life\/\"><em>Magical Hotels here<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b40850a51169690045d7edb6359a4c25 wp-block-paragraph\">.Cent Magazine, London. <strong><em>Luxury Mindset<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The greatest Art doesn&#8217;t always come from expected places, from those trained in the best art schools and who showed&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":186020,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[11],"tags":[17025,17024],"features_issues":[],"featured_themes":[15856],"ppma_author":[16670],"class_list":["post-185928","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-art","tag-maths-and-art","tag-richard-paul-lohse-masi-lugano","featured_themes-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Numbers In Colour: Art Meets Maths and Equals Beautiful | Cent Magazine<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Numbers In Colour;
