Artist: Gabrielle Graessle (Switzerland, b. 1956)
嘉貝麗・格雷爾斯 (Gabrielle Graessle) 於1956年出生於瑞士的蘇黎世,從小就學習繪畫及創作。她在蘇黎世藝術大學學習了5年並獲得了平面設計的學士學位,當她還是學士還是學生時舉辦了首次個展,在這段時間,她的創作主要以黑白炭筆來創作自畫像。
從2000年開始,她與她的伴侶移民至法國隨後又移民至西班牙,他們在那一間老舊的房子進行打造。多年來,他們從翻新項目中搬離至下一個地方的同時,她將繪畫以及素描本成為她主要的表達方式。
2015年時她在安達盧西亞安定居。她決定再次將自己完全沈浸在自己的異想世界,並已大幅、色彩直覺且具象的風格來創作並表達自我。她的工作室位於荒郊野外的一群老別墅中。那裡,沒有心煩意亂,她可以在大自然的僻靜環境中完全專注於工作。在那她可以同時在好幾張畫布上創作出多個系列的作品。
同時繪畫也依舊是她生活中重要的養分來源,這也是她創作及表達自我的一部分,也是他創作的中心思想。2020年時,她重新在巴賽隆納以及馬德里藝術博覽會上展示她的作品,也參與了德國和法國的群展。
Gabrielle Graessle was born in Zurich, Switzerland in 1956 and has been fascinated by painting and drawing since she was a child. She attended Zurich Art School for 5 years, where she completed a degree in graphic design. Her first exhibitions took place while she was still a student. During this time, she made mainly black and white charcoal drawings spontaneously depicting her personal imagery.
For 15 years, she was represented by various galleries in Switzerland. Many of her charcoal drawings hang in private and public collections. At the beginning of 2000, she and her partner emigrated to France and later to Spain, where they built and redesigned old houses. For years they moved from one renovation project to the next. At that time, her means of expression were mainly drawings and sketchbooks.
In 2015, she settled down in Andalusia. She decided to immerse herself completely in her imaginary world again and to express herself in large format, colored, intuitive and figurative paintings.Her studio is located in a group of old cottages in the middle of nowhere. There are no distractions, and she can fully concentrate on her work in a secluded setting in nature. There she works on several canvases at the same time, creating multiple series of paintings.
At the same time, drawings are still an important part of her work. These are spontaneous expressions of her thoughts and stories. They are often the starting point for her paintings. In 2020, she restarted to present her art at art fairs in Barcelona and Madrid, and participated in group shows in Germany and France.
