Kilian Ruthemann

Ruthemann's has a collection of varying works, many of an industrial nature, employing materials like concrete, bitumen paint, tarpaulin, and sheets of steel. The works are all large scale installation pieces,  sometimes responding to the space in which they are displayed. 
- The concrete works in particular highlight the qualities of the material



Double Rich, 2009, smoke drawing, 170 x 100 cm
 Linger! (4), 2012, steel sheets (0.75mm), each 125 x 250 x 7,5 cm
 Linger! (5), 2012, steel sheets (0.75 mm), 375 x 250 x 7,5 cm

 Untitled (Black Cover), 2013
Untitled (Glarus), 2009, 80 glass cylinders, lacquered inside 
This piece was of particular interest - at first I assumed the pattern in the broken glass was just an illusion, but in fact the cylinders were shattered, or scattered in that pattern
 Untitled, 2008, parquet flooring, 100 x 130 cm
Untitled, 2012, bitumen, cotton, 260 x 350 cm
Aussenportal, 2008, mortar, 120 x 215 x 35 cm
