Noemi Pfister: Heart on Sleeve - Paperback

by Noemi Pfister (Artist), Raphael Gygax (Text by (Art/Photo Books)), Damian Jurt (Text by (Art/Photo Books))

By intertwining the familiar with the uncanny, Pfister's paintings probe the kinds of communities we might inhabit in the future

The dreamlike landscapes of Swiss painter Noemi Pfister (born 1991) are inhabited by distorted subjects lounging on skateboards or scrolling on their phones. While her formal language borrows from Old Master works, the figures' clothing, postures and props are unmistakable motifs of contemporary youth culture.
