Klodin Erb

Klodin Erb is one of the most famous Swiss painters. In her expressive, fantastic pictorial worlds, she explores the boundaries of painting and simultaneously questions definitions of gender and identity. In an effort to combine topicality and timelessness in her paintings, the artist uses various techniques to "sample" borrowings from art history with motifs from the contemporary world. Klodin Erb lives and works in Zurich and is a lecturer at the Department of Design & Art at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts.

Her works are represented in numerous public and private collections worldwide amongst others at the Kunstmuseum Bern; Museum zu Allerheiligen Schaffhausen; Kunsthaus Pasquart, Biel and many private collections. Recently she had important solo exhibitions at the Kunsthaus Pasquart, Biel and Gluri Suter Huus in Wettingen, near Zurich, Helvetia Art Foyer, Basel and was included in group exhibitions amongst others Veh Landschaften, Talmuseum St. Antönien, Switzerland, Die Augen der Bilder – Porträts von Fragonard bis Dumas, Museum Langmatt, Baden and Docking Station, Aargauer Kunsthaus, Aarau.
