"Christian Robert-Tissot is constructing his works through language. For other artists colors and shapes are the basic building blocks of their works, but for the Swiss Robert-Tissot it's undoubtedly words. It is like a game of form vs. meaning, that Christian Robert-Tissot is playing. He examines the tension between the aesthetic and formal aspects of writing and the substantive significance of language. Although there are several artists working in this field - Christian Robert-Tissot is certainly the trickiest, most humorous and most successful among them.
