Christine Streuli

Christine Streuli (*1975 in Bern) is one of an international, up-and-coming generation of artists devoted to the medium of painting and directing the discourse on this traditional genre into new channels. In her lavish, imagistic worlds the artist reflects on painting strategies and experiments with the suggestive charisma of form, color, ornamentation, sign, and pattern. The characteristic aesthetic of color and form make her works of art unmistakable. Starting with a group of works created for the Kunstmuseum Luzern, this publication is the first to offer an extensive survey of Streuli's body of work. Numerous reproductions of paintings as well as photographs of installations enable experiencing the multifaceted qualities of her painting. Informative essays explain the artist's working method and world of thought. Exhibition schedule: Kunstmuseum Luzern, July 6-October 13, 2013
