Burek in collaboration with Picto Bello
Malerduo Bošković-Scarth (Lorenz Bachofner Bošković (CH) & Vincent Scarth (GB/IT))
In this project, the artist duo takes the Burek — a portable pastry humbly rooted in traditions from Turkey to Eastern Europe — as a starting point to explore themes of exodus and the notion of home. Its simple, unleavened dough evokes the circulation of ingredients and how a recipe often adapts to its surroundings, while its familiar taste recalls the domestic space of the kitchen and the hands of grandmothers.
The work will be created in situ on May 24 during the Picto Bello painting day at Place du Marché in Vevey. By bringing the motif of the Burek into public space, the artists invite passersby to react, reflect, and nourish the work with their own associations. Their artistic practice embraces public interaction as an essential part of the creative process: comments, memories, and spontaneous conversations actively shape the evolving work, making the public not merely witnesses, but co-creators in a shared exploration of themes common to both Picto Bello and foodculture days: home, familiarity, and our relationship with the unknown.

The painting duo Bošković-Scarth challenges the genius myth of the solitary artist, replacing the notion of a singular work with a conversation in brush and colour. Lorenz Bošković (CH) and Vincent Scarth (GB/IT) paint side by side, often directly onto walls or objects. This approach gives rise to paintings that tell everyday stories, characterised by a delight in imperfection, as well as empathy and keen observation.
Whether depicting scenes from urban life or impressions from excursions into the countryside, the duo’s painting is accessible, humorous, and playful—yet never lacking in depth. Time and again, they succeed in capturing the vitality of a moment within their compositions.
