Luftsprung

The title of the new exhibition at Sprützehüsli - "Luftsprung" - is programmatic, because the two exhibiting artists live for and in their art. They combine a cheerful lightness with a humorous wink.

Patricia Brunner often carried a sketchbook around with her in her younger years to record her observations of people, animals and landscapes. Later, the drawing lines gained a physicality and three-dimensionality as Patricia replaced the lines with wire. Since then, wire has been her central material for expressing her ideas. Patricia Brunner finds it particularly exciting to look at human behavior and the shortcomings in our everyday lives, relationships and interactions. What emerges are wire creations that take the mickey out of all our foibles and idiosyncrasies with playful ease. But sometimes they are also just impressively beautiful.

Yannina Döbeli says about herself that she draws her creative power from snapshots in nature and encounters with people, whether on walks in the region or on sketching trips abroad. She always tries to express her experiences in painting and to invite the viewers of her works on her quest. This results in works that have something floating, a lightness and yet inviting to dive into it. Outside of her painting, Yannina Döbeli also works with wire and creates characters, which she conjures joy or anger in the face with small bends, but also character traits such as mockery or arrogance.
