SILVIA BÄCHLI

To a certain extent, Silvia Bächli’s works impose limitations: with the exception of a handful of photographs, she restricts herself to drawing (in different mediums) on paper and in black and white, or rather, without using colour. These restrictions, however, form the basis of a set of works that redefine the boundaries of drawing itself, the placement of marks on a material surface. Bächli addresses a wide variety of themes - people, plants, gestures, lines…always treated with great aesthetic economy. They are iconic signs that address specific and particular aspects rather than the general. Sometimes, certain sheets of drawings are installed in order to serve the space created by the wall that supports them, or large drawings that entirely cover the wall, almost engulfing it. In this manner, Bächli’s installations mediate between a communally shared space and personally codified figurations.
