Art Gallery "Paltenghi"

Mrs. Paltenghi, gallery owner in Château-d'Œx, is exhibiting a selection of paintings by her husband Guerino Paltenghi, a Swiss painter of Ticino origin who has lived in the Pays-d'Enhaut for half a century.

Over the years, Guerino Paltenghi has developed his own technique. By collaging paper on canvas, he gives his paintings a special texture, which catches the light and softens the colour. The tones he favours suggest the mildness of the climate of his native Ticino: browns, yellows, ochres are serenely combined.

Landscapes or still lifes; his work celebrates the quietude and natural beauty.
