Manuella Muerner Marioni

In my work, my purpose is to break away from the stringent order of society, to unleash tensions and to bring about a vivid confrontation with the issues of form and colour. Playing with Contradictions is the name of the game. In simple terms, art is clearly the creation of contradictions which must be compensated for; art is a blend of conradiction and order.

Manuella Muerner Marioni was born 1964 in Thun, Switzerland. She studied art and fashion design at the New Art School Zurich (Switzerland). After study she made several trips abroad for art-studies in Florence (IT), Vienna (AT), Lisboa (PT), Paris (FR), Spain, South America and USA. For seven years she collaborated with the NIKI DE ST. PHALLE FOUNDATION in Germany, Switzerland, France and USA. She has been featured in group and solo shows at museums, galleries and cultural Centers in Europe, Asia and the US, including Zhou Brothers Foundation Chicago, Southern Nevada Museum of Fine Art in Las Vegas and solo shows at the International Museum of Contemporary Art ITALIA ARTE in Turin and at Artifact Gallery in New York. The artist regularly takes part in major art fairs such as Art San Diego, Art Expo in New York and Spectrum Red Dot in Miami.
