Youri Messen-Jaschin
From (1958 - 1962) his artistic studies lead him to the higher national
school of fine arts (student of Professor Robert Cami) and to the
Practical school of the Sorbonne, division of social sciences (history
of art, Professor Pierre Francastel) in Paris.
From 1962 until 1965, he went to the School of fine arts in Lausanne.
He worked with the engraver and painter Ernest Pizzotti. Exhibition of
Lausanne in 1964 with his kinetic glass and acrylic sculptures. He
worked two years at the “Center of contemporary engraving” in Geneva. Then, he worked in Zurich, where he broadened his pictorial
perspective with the painter Friederich Kuhn thru experience of the
circle in the face. From 1968 until 1970, he acted at the University of
Högskolan för design & Konsthantwerk in Göteborg, where he created
researches of textile kinetic objects. In 1967, he met at an exhibition
in Göteborgs Konsthall Jesús - Rafael Soto, Carlos Cruz-Diez and Julio Le Parc. Speaking with these artists, he discovered to be fascinated by optical art. He decided to devote all his research to kinetic art.
An extended stay in Göteborg gave him the opportunity to constantly
evolve in movement and geometric shapes, integrating them in his
textiles and oil paintings. His research in optical art had a significant
impact in this area in Scandinavia.
In 1968, Youri received the first prize for the Swiss contemporary engraving art. The same year, he got a scholarship from the Swedish
government. In the 1970s, he stayed in Hamburg where he continued
to work with artists from northern Germany, collaborating with him on
different monumental projects. In 1970, he created a kinetic sculpture
for Gould in Eistetten, near the Black Forest in Germany.
He took up residence in Bern from 1970 to 1981. His various stays
abroad allowed each time to establish a link with artists working in the
same artistic movement. Architecture plays an important role in his
paintings and sculptures, the search for movement Op Art (kinetic art)
in architectural space is a whole, and he could talk about it with Oscar
Niemeyer, Burle Marx, in Rio de Janeiro, Otake in Sao Paolo in Brazil,
and Clorindo Testa in Buenos Aires. He stayed in Caracas at the end
of his trip, where he staged theatre and choreography of his own
works which are presented at the Ateneo of Caracas and the VIth Festival Internacional de Teatro, Fundacion Eugenio Mendoza, Asociación cultural Humboldt (Goethe-Institut) and the Alliance Française.
He participated in many international exhibitions and got awards from
research in optical art in Italy. His works are in private collections, in
national and international museums.

He also had the privilege to sell his unique tapestry in the style of Pop
art “More Light”. He was enthusiastic about the use of color in this art
style. The Contemporary Art Museum Migros in Zurich was interested
in this work. This tapestry was made
In the 1970s in his workshop in Zollikofen near Bern in Switzerland.
This tapestry belongs to the collection of Migros Vaud Switzerland.
After a stay of several months in New York, he returned to Switzerland
where he took up residence in Bern, where he lived for eleven years.
During his stay, he frequently exhibited at the Kunsthalle and other
local museums.

School in Zurich, Cabinet des estampes in Geneva and abroad, the
