A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Karina Wisniewska was born in Venice, Italy. The versatile artist studied piano, musicology and history of art at the universities of Berne and Salzburg. In 1992, she started her international concert career as soloist and chamber musician. She was awarded "Swiss Musician of the Year" and the prize of the European Cultural Foundation in 1997. Her interest in painting was intensified in 1991; since 2000, she has been dedicating herself exclusively to painting and exhibiting her art in renowned galleries in Europe, Asia, Australia, and the USA as well as at international art fairs. Dominique von Burg is an historian of art and architecture. She lives in Zurich and works as a freelance writer and curator. Guido Magnaguagno was conservator and vice director of the Kunsthaus Zurich from 1980 to 2001 and director of the Museum Jean Tinguely, Basel from 2001 to 2009 when he retired.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Karina Wisniewska has created a formally concentrated body of work, which despite its conscious reduction contains a wealth of geometric and ornamental elements. From a monochromatic basis she develops deceptively simple, yet complex patterns. The pictures glow with intense colours, creating space, engendering depth, and communicating with the architecture around them. At the same time, there is a perceptible rhythm to the design which refers associatively to music, to graphic notation. The artist arranges sound-colours into colour symphonies, making links to her previous activity as a concert pianist and chamber musician. The monochromatic and calligraphic works reflect Karina Wisniewska's search for the symbiosis between music and painting.
