Contemporary & Fine Art Biennale Basel

shows selected artists from all over the world with a precise view and technique. Art is a mirror of society and shows how artists react to social and political changes, but also what moves artists in different phases of their lives. Art polarizes, but also unites and can be a creative source of inner strength for many viewers. The connecting role of art and diversity was important for curator of the Biennale Heinz Playner when selecting the artists for this exhibition.

The Basel Biennale will showcase the work of nearly 80 artists from around the world.

Through courses in sketching and sculpting as well as a course for design at the Invers School in Olten, he acquired practical and technical knowledge in painting. His main interest is the expression of the face and the possibilities of abstracting it without making the person unrecognizable herself. His style moves between an expressive color and lines and non-figurative alienation effects that produce this unique atmosphere of his paintings. Simon Abt's work has generated great interest in the art world and has been featured in several international exhibitions.

Her paintings consist of multiple and thick layers of color, the first gaze might deceive, and it may seem calm and harmonic but When studied closely, the Initial impression of harmony and tranquility soon gives way to a multi-layered rich labyrinth of colors. Her paintings certainly fit the adage that there is more than meets the eye.
