sinokultur invites you to our very special members-only art tour with the fabulous artists Rebekka Steiger and Angela Lyn at the Kunstmuseum Thun on Saturday, May 24th.
Two artists, two generations, two worlds - united. The parallel exhibitions by Rebekka Steiger and Angela Lyn bring together two women from different backgrounds who live in Switzerland and share a love of painting, China, their homeland and nature.
Rebekka Steiger (*1993) is both a painter and a storyteller who takes us into strange and colourful dream worlds. Sometimes flowery, sometimes eerie, her paintings are characterised by a dialectic of simultaneous movement and statics. Steiger’s paintings contain unfinished narratives – one discovers landscapes, trees and figures. Drawing brushstrokes, painterly gestures, surfaces and objects are applied to the canvases in overlapping layers of colour.
For Angela Lyn (*1955) cultural diversity is the core of what she is and what she does. Combining her Eastern and Western heritage into a unique and engaging language, the artist strives to explore the universal and encourage viewers to reflect on the complexity of the world we live in. Through careful observation, clear composition and the attentive use of her medium, Lyn’s paintings, sculptures, objects and performances create an inner resonance.
The tour will be in English.
