Alain Huck, born 1957, lives and works in the Romandie, the francophone part of Switzerland. He graduated in Fine Arts from the Ecole cantonale des beaux-arts Lausanne (ECAL) in 1986. He became a founding member of the M/2 artists collective in Vevey in 1987, with whom he worked for four years, and was awarded a residency at the Swiss Institute in Rome in 1990. On his return to Switzerland he started working on his own, creating a body of polymorphous works in a variety of media: painting, photography, drawing, video, often using text as well. In 1997, he spent some time at Paris's Cite internationale des arts. His work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions at Musee Jenisch Vevey (2006), the Musee de l'art modern et contemporain (Mamco) in Geneva (2009), at Art Basel's "Art Unlimited" show (2011), the Centre Culturel Suisse in Paris (2012), the Museum of Fine Arts in Nancy, France (2012), and various other museums, galleries, and art centers. Since 2006, Huck has been working on an extensive series of very large-scale charcoal drawings, titled "Salons noris." This corpus now comprises some 80 compositions, in which the artist has superimposed different images, combined and confused within a mobile, blurred vision that is occasionally reiterated. This new book for the first time presents the entire "Salons noirs" series, completed by a selection of other recent works by Alain Huck. Julie Enckell Julliard's essay examines the "Salons noirs" and suggests ways of approaching them, and also refers to the various relations of Huck's work to that of other artists, such as Albrecht Durer, Arnold Bocklin, Robert Longo, or Gerhard Richter.
