Seylech (Charles) Leuthard, Künstler des Lichts.

“The Yellow Summer” is a series of 41 acrylic and oil paintings created by Seylech between June 1 and August 31, 2011.

The series began with a moment that was both unexpected and pivotal. While tidying his studio and rearranging his yellow acrylic and oil paints, Seylech experienced a sudden inspiration. Three things were immediately clear to him: the series should comprise between 30 and 50 works, use shades of yellow exclusively, and be called “The Yellow Summer.” The first painting, “The Birth of the Little White Sun,” was completed that very same day.

During this intense period of creative activity, Seylech also painted his first cornfield scenes. The motif had occupied his thoughts for some time and now found its first painterly expression.

The complete series was presented in Lucerne at Easter 2012 and received great acclaim. A small selection of works remains available today. We are happy to provide prices and further information.
