Renée Levi

Renée Levi is one of Switzerland's most prominent contemporary artists working with painting and installation. Since the late 1990s she has examined the limits of painting, expanding her explorations in three-dimensional installations and interventions. This leads to surprising dialogues between architecture and her artwork in these three-dimensional works. Form and color take on immense dimensions, without losing any of their fragility. Besides essays on Levi's oeuvre, this publication offers a comprehensive survey of her multi-layered work from the past decade, while also documenting the new works in Baden and Geneva.
Renée Levi ( 1960 in Istanbul, lives in Basel) studied architecture and fine art in Basel and Zurich. She has been a professor of painting at the Hochschule für Gestaltung und Kunst in Basel since 2001. Her works have been exhibited around the globe for more than twenty years. In 2018 the artist was awarded the Société des Arts de Genève prize for art.
