Description
Too Beautiful to Be True reflects Heidi Mumenthaler’s fascination with the almost overwhelming perfection of the Swiss landscape. Between observation and memory, the scenery begins to shift: colour loosens, forms simplify, and the familiar becomes strangely uncertain. Painted intuitively on recycled chocolate cardboard, the work asks a quiet question: is beauty something we see — or something that only begins when we truly look?
