Christine Streuli

by Claudia Jolles, Roman Kurzmeyer, Deniz Pekermann

Streuli, who studied in Zurich and Berlin, makes painting a spectacle, makes it a sensation. Colorful and multi-leveled, experimental and large-scale, her canvases trumpet their medium's power. She seeks extreme artificiality and encourages forms and colors to collide abruptly. She avoids soothing transitions and yet (or perhaps therefore) generates amazing opulence. Streuli will represent Switzerland at the 2007 Venice Biennale.

Great pictures, text is more about what the authors think than Streuli or her art.
