After graduating from the Art School of Lausanne (ECAL), Switzerland, in 2006, Gilles Furtwängler has since been developing his artwork based on text, using spoken words as the trigger of his visual production, Furtwängler works with different techniques as drawing, painting and printing to create plastic support for his texts. Trough collecting found texts Furtwängler works on retelling and rewriting what he hears and reads, using contexts, colors and substances to question ways of thinking and representing in our era.
Member of the contemporary art center Circuit in Lausanne and artists group Makrout Unité in Switzerland, he is also the founder of the spoken words show Revenir et Dire Ça on the internet radio DUUU* based in Paris, duuuradio.fr.
