Sinossi

A pea-pod, a huge bag, a potted plant, advertising slogans, self-help books-in her work, Sereina Steinemann focuses on simple things, everyday life, normality. Her first comprehensive presentation is therefore simply called Works and covers the entire spectrum of her production, from paintings to flyers, and from drawings to sculptures. While the Swiss artist clearly shares her interest in the world of commodities with Pop Art, she presents these ordinary things with great affection and with a smile, instead of as cool-sleek still lives. Thanks to the simplicity of the motif and painting style, her works have a quietly touching impact-as in her painting of a colourful striped woollen sock or a blue cup on a red-and-white checked tablecloth.
