Work
Work
Streuli became known for her large-format, colorful and ornamental paintings which were often described as colour manifestos, inspired by the most diverse cultural sources, which the artist combines to form a dense cosmos. Her paintings are composed of several layers, whereby the artist makes use of the most diverse painting techniques. Streuli rarely works with the brush; rather, she sprinkles, pours or sprays paint onto her canvases and combines a variety of printing techniques. She uses rakes, stencils, scratches or other objects. Often she chooses a garish, almost excessive colourfulness. Her works are usually characterized by room-filling stagings in which the painting radiates beyond the edges of canvases and extends over the walls, floor and ceiling. Streuli's works have been exhibited worldwide, including the Venice Biennale in 2007 and the Biennale of Sydney in 2014. Her work has been shown in solo exhibitions in art museums including Aargauer Kunsthaus, Kunsthaus Langenthal, Kunstmuseum Luzern, Kunstmuseum Bonn, the Haus am Waldsee in Berlin and in the Berlinischen Galerie.
