Born 1960 in Mitlödi, Switzerland. Lives and works in Basel, Switzerland. Based on earlier experiences in pharmaceutical research, Hofmann’s art combines scientific interest with an aesthetic examination of painting. The repertoire of forms has echoes of the world that opens up under the microscope.
For over thirty years Renée Levi has been questioning the medium of painting. She investigates colour, the application of paint, its body, and its space on various image carriers as well as in installations. She was born 1960, in Istanbul and grew up in Aargau. Today, she lives and works in Basel.
Jürg Stäuble’s works are based on geometric design principles that he first lays out in series of drawings, modifies in a wide variety of ways with intuitive interventions, and extends spatially in precise construction plans and working models. In so doing, he experiments with penetrations, overlaps, sequences, torsions and displacements of geometric bodies and surfaces. In this sense, his form-finding, which he often works through in groups of artworks, does not constitute abstraction of real objects, but concretion of abstract models. The fact that this, in turn, triggers associations with familiar natural entities is a welcome side effect.
