„FUORIPISTA was the name of Sven Egert’s exhibition in Genua, Italy, where he recently worked in a studio provided by the city of Chur. Off-pist, he uses the plastic from the ski jump run-outs as a painting ground. Spraying his paintings on these neveplast mats gives his art an aggressive, softly rounded and charming touch. Egert is a creator and tinkerer who understands to transform unusual materials into art. He is an eye knight who affects the physiology of vision with colour and material. Colourful, technically strong, artistically headstrong.“
