Silvia Bächli's artistic work is characterized by an extraordinary continuity. For more than 40 years, the Swiss artist has been driving the development of the medium of drawing formally and conceptually. Her reduced works translate atmospheres, at the same time the installation of her drawings, always adapted to the respective exhibition context.This publication documents a new, comprehensive series of large-format works on paper. Colored surfaces in predominantly muted valeurs present themselves as permeable and fragile settings, in which the brushstroke becomes visible in varying degrees. As a horizontal band of color-rhythmized to different intervals-the individual drawings develop an installative, expansive energy that engages in an interplay with the historical exhibition space. The undulations of the paper give rise to a sensual presence of the works that can also be felt in the catalog. SILVIA BÄCHLI (*1956, Baden/Switzerland) is considered one of the most renowned artists in the medium of drawing today. Since the 1990s, her work was exhibited internationally. In 2009, Bächli represented Switzerland at the Venice Biennale. She lives and works in Basel and Paris.
