The Dream Artist Nobody Knows About

Few artists have so powerfully evoked the uncanny otherness of the unconscious like Swiss artist Peter BirkhÀuser. His unknown dream paintings were met with blank incomprehension, and were not well-received by the art community of the time, but, viewed today, his vivid paintings bear striking testament to the disruptive and transformative reality of individuation, the purpose of Jungian psychology, which is to seek wholeness of personality by bringing one's unconscious contents into reality.

After a midlife crisis, BirkhÀuser dedicated himself exclusively to bringing these unconscious images into reality. Just how hard this struggle with himself must have been is suggested by the fact that it took the artist twelve years to make the great break and paint a picture entirely according to his own imagination, with no model from the real world.

BirkhÀuser's daughter Eva Wertenschlag is the president of the BirkhÀuser-Oeri Foundation, you can visit the works in Basel, Switzlerland. Contact through the official homepage: birkhaeuser-oeri.ch/en

I have lost my unconscious eye presently through binging internet images and socials like Insta. Drug dependence has also played a part in this blindness. My dreams are all real life scenarios that revolve around work and failure to complete tasks before a special visit. The message is pretty clear for me. I am an artist at heart, a dreamer being crushed beneath my fear of life, I’m always in turmoil or drudgery. I do my best to be kind and curious. I hope to transcend this grey prison like this guy did.

"At the Door" reminds me of a recurring nightmare I had when I was 10. For seven nights, I woke in my dream, walked downstairs and saw a shadowy figure just standing in the living room. Every night he got a little closer and every night I got more and more scared, just waiting for him to make a move. On the sixth night, I was tired of living in fear of going to sleep so I asked my mom what I should do. "Ask him what he wants," she said. I hadn't even realized that was an option. On the seventh night, I asked the shadowy figure, with vitriolic anger mixed with fear, “What do you want from me?!” He vanished. I still get chills on occasion when recalling the emotion from then. The fear. The anger. The Relief.

This video's done fantastically, a truly phenomenal compilation of art and ideas. I had never heard of BirkhÀuser before but I've been getting into Jung recently and it's awesome to see an extension of his concepts and ideas through the artistic expression of such an intriguingly striking unconscious. I thank you endlessly for introducing me to BirkhÀuser and for another beautiful video!

Almost all of his paintings have a dark background. I believe that every time he was to begin a new painting, he would first paint the canvas a pure black, which, to me, means that all his paintings are indeed sprouting from the darkness of his unconscious. Although neurosis wasn't mentioned even once in this video, I believe that the recurring theme of the split man represents his neurosis and that of every other adult in his lifetime and ours. Even this man, who was sharply tuned to his greater self, or The Great Man, only began to heal from his neurosis in his late period, which goes to show how unlikely it is to develop an ego that isn't neurotic in modern times. Whatever it is we are moving towards as a species is going against the deepest and most rooted nature of the human animal. We can only heal from this global neurosis once we start seeing ourselves not as a unit, but as duality, while simultaneously giving in to the multiplicity of the unconscious manifestations. Since such a task is so tremendously terrifying, only a handful of people are likely to begin this process, and will only gain significance in the larger scheme of things once we cross some terrible milestone of crisis, when the fear of not giving in to the unconscious is greater than that of resisting it.

As an artist in crisis, unable to make art for a myriad of living conditions, this is very helpful and the paintings provide inspiration, comfort, understanding. I greatly appreciate the analysations which flesh out the meanings in a way that makes sense and speaks to the unconscious for me. It helps me to begin to allow myself to go into my unconscious again. Even outside of making art, they bring comfort in a way that is very needed right now, with political conditions crushing the masses.

"I experience a power within myself which is not the same as my conscious ego. It has forced me to adopt a path quite foreign to my conscious attitude, a path which totally contradicted my will and everything I considered important. but now, looking back over thousands of dreams and the sacrifices of a long, hard development, I can see how valuable the experience has been."

The bit about confronting the shadow form in your nightmares when you were discussing 'At the door' was really intriguing.

The woman banging on the door, is not blind. Those supernovas are new realities whose shifts would be catastrophic for her known world, she is running from new opportunities as they would violently shake her life in ways she could not control.

This is one of the most precious videos I've ever watched. Some paintings give me deja vu, perhaps because my unconscious mind recognizes them. Also, interpretation of depression giving us new opportunities struck me, as I made the correlation with Taleb's Black Swans and with my personal observation that the unconscious mind is Extremistan - the realm were Black Swans show up. Of course, Black Swans can be positive and negative. I hope I will never forget these feelings I have right now... Thank you a ton for your video(s)!

I woke up from a dream where I saw the same figure from the painting “the outcast”. Except instead of holding a rainbow it was enveloped over the suit he was wearing. I recorded the dream when I woke up because I also like to paint and thought if I ever become skilled enough that it would be a powerful painting. The hair on my arms stood up when I saw it.

I have not crossed paths with this soul previously. His representations of the complexities of the conflict (?) between our concious and unconcious life are unparalleled. They bring form to emotion and spiritual knowledge. I'm still processing, as I type, as if a weight is being lifted. My own "journey" of awakening has, so far, been largely a lonely one, briefly connecting with individuals along the way. This man has, through his art, made sense of much of my life on so many levels. Thank you for your part, in bringing this body of work to light.

This ist great! I had the luck to live in Peter BirkhÀuser's house and work in his studio for several years. As we moved in the original paintings (as seen in your video) were just standig and hanging around without protection. I asked a friend of mine to build a penderie for them so they are safe now. Brings back great memories of that place!
