The pencil drawings of Julia Steiner (b. B\u00fcren zum Hof, Switzerland, 1982; lives and works in Basel) are monumental in size. And yet they exude an air of delicacy and evanescence, sprawling across the edges of the paper and taking possession of the space around them. Processes frozen in an instant\u2014like wind sweeping through clouds, light piercing the night, or the ground breaking apart\u2014erupt with unexpected vigor. The beholder believes that he has identified a motif, only to lose sight of it a moment later in the abstraction of the painterly drawing. The artist\u2019s oeuvre lays out a cosmos of images that crack and burst into pieces, explode and implode. The present book accompanies Julia Steiner\u2019s first institutional solo exhibition in Germany.<\/p>\n
Julia Steiner studied at the Bern University of the Arts (HKB) from 2002 until 2007, with a semester abroad at the Berlin University of the Arts in 2005. In 2018\u201319, she held an interim professorship at the Braunschweig University of Art (HBK), leading the drawing class. Steiner\u2019s work has won her several accolades, including the 2009 Swiss Art Award and the 2017 STRABAG Artaward International (Vienna).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
