Klodin Erb, born in 1963 in Winterthur, explores in her recent paintings interiors and still lifes that are enveloped in a mysterious aura. The works depict empty living rooms that, with dramatically staged objects, nonetheless suggest the presence of life. While Klodin Erb employs classical genres of painting, she imparts a remarkable, sensual presence to her works through her fresh, dynamic painting style. In her re-examination of motifs from past art historical periods, she not only seeks the magic of the past but also presents an exceedingly contemporary form of romanticism. This catalog offers an enlightening insight into one of the most exciting positions in contemporary painting in Switzerland. Accompanying the images are texts and an interview in which the artist explains her influences and creative process.
