Berlin-based Swiss painter Christine Streuli (born 1975) paints vivid abstractions and geometric patterns on monumental canvases. This book documents paintings exhibited at the Kunstmuseum Thun where the patterns, symbols and motifs in her works extend onto the gallery’s walls.
Swiss painter Christine Streuli (born 1975) celebrates riotous color and proliferating ornamentation in her large- scale canvases, somewhat akin to Beatriz Milhazes. Her paintings often extend into room-filling installations. This volume is the most extensive overview of her work yet published.

Streuli, who studied in Zurich and Berlin, makes painting a spectacle, makes it a sensation. Colorful and multi-leveled, experimental and large-scale, her canvases trumpet their medium's power. She seeks extreme artificiality and encourages forms and colors to collide abruptly. She avoids soothing transitions and yet (or perhaps therefore) generates amazing opulence. Streuli will represent Switzerland at the 2007 Venice Biennale.
