Christine Streuli’s paintings combine colour with geometric and floral patterns to strike a balance between expressionism and objectivity, emotion and practicality, and they serve as a reflection of her career as a painter.
Streuli’s diverse range of work is a pure examination of pattern and form. Her reactions to visual stimuli are translated into flat, extremely formal compositions of intersecting patterns, which include Op Art-like geometries, stylized flora, and whirling, expressive abstraction.
Streuli’s methodology is characterised by her conviction that form is content and her desire to cram form with information, contextualise it, and ground it in the reality of the present.
