Christine Streuli (born 23 July 1975) is a Swiss-born contemporary artist who lives and works in Berlin, Germany.

Biography

Streuli grew up in Switzerland in Zurich and in Langenthal and in the USA in Chicago. From 1997 to 2001 she studied at the Zurich University of the Arts and at the Berlin University of the Arts. Since 2015, she has been a professor at the Berlin University of the Arts.[2]

Work

Streuli became known for her large-format, colorful and ornamental paintings which were often described as colour manifestos, inspired by the most diverse cultural sources, which the artist combines to form a dense cosmos. Her paintings are composed of several layers, whereby the artist makes use of the most diverse painting techniques. Streuli rarely works with the brush; rather, she sprinkles, pours or sprays paint onto her canvases and combines a variety of printing techniques. She uses rakes, stencils, scratches or other objects. Often she chooses a garish, almost excessive colourfulness. Her works are usually characterized by room-filling stagings in which the painting radiates beyond the edges of canvases and extends over the walls, floor and ceiling.

Streuli's works have been exhibited worldwide, including the Venice Biennale in 2007 and the Biennale of Sydney in 2014.[3] [4] Her work has been shown in solo exhibitions in art museums including Aargauer Kunsthaus, Kunsthaus Langenthal, Kunstmuseum Luzern, Kunstmuseum Bonn, the Haus am Waldsee in Berlin and in the Berlinischen Galerie.[citation needed]
