Artistic career

Sculpture by Indermaur in Chur

Indermaur became a freelance artist in 1969.[6] His paintings began to garner significant attention in the mid-1970s.[13]

Indermaur tends to paint in series, creating as many as 50–75 works all related to a single theme. From 1982 to 1983 he painted sofas and from 1986 to 1987 he painted a "between rooms" series, which displayed subjects in doorways and hallways.[14]

In 1977, Indermaur and graphic artist Albert Brun published the satirical magazine Das Ballhorn in six editions.[15]

In 2011, Indermaur was among a list of artists who signed the Declaration of Swiss Artists Responding to the Palestinian Appeal for Solidarity.[16]
