Rebekka Steiger. Bīngfēng

Rebekka Steiger (*1993, Zurich) 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. In the exhibition at the Kunstmuseum Thun, she presents paintings on canvas and paper, including monotypes, as well as sound recordings of her own and self-recorded texts.
