Regula Syz, Gebunden

Klappentext

In her paintings, the Swiss artist Regula Syz (b. 1946) opens up a space for contradiction. They depict blossoming life, but also foreboding and destruction. To this end, the artist works with elementary manifestations of the life cycle, which she links to humankind's internal and external struggles. Regula Syz's oeuvre, which spans more than fifty years, is characterized by a turning point in 1999: a studio residency in Genoa marked her transition from precise watercolor techniques to large-format acrylic paintings; beauty and harmony were followed by expressiveness and movement. Red Raven - Black Poppy focuses on this second phase of her work, though it also features earlier works and excerpts from her sketchbooks, allowing for a comprehensive exploration of Syz's artistic practice.
