Art is a language of feeling,
which begins where expression with words ends.

Asmus Jakob Carstens

Characteristics and CV

Isabelle Habegger was born in Neuchâtel and studied at the Zurich School of Design from 1994-1998. Since 1987, she has exhibited in Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain, Canada, the USA, Guatemala, Japan and Switzerland. As a painter, sculptor and performance artist, she has realized design concepts for various companies in Switzerland.

    Why BURN-IN

    The themes of the conscious and the unconscious apply to Isabelle Habegger's work in a special way. The curators were particularly impressed by her paintings, which reflect a spiritual mood, and her cool stainless steel sculptures. In April 2015, the BURN-IN team organized a solo exhibition for Isabelle Habegger on the theme of the conscious and the unconscious.

    The artistic language in Isabelle Habegger's paintings, the language of her lines, colors and forms, is based on immediate sensation. She is not concerned with conveying an image of reality, but with conveying an emotional mood, a romantic place of feelings. Her color language is also to be understood in this sense. The color red as a symbol of happiness dominates the pictures from China just as much as the complementary green. Yellow shapes swirl out of the bright red background like leaves from a volcano. Red and white shapes emerge from various shades of green in a moving painting style. Movement is also an important theme in her airy impressions from the airplane and the sea paintings. The artist's need to depict various events in her life in her paintings is characterized by her emotions and can often be interpreted symbolically.

    The forms of Isabelle Habegger's monumental sculptures are also symbolic, with their cool stainless steel and clarity fitting into the concept of "the conscious". Isabelle Habegger creates three-dimensional works from the straight sheet steel by grinding and bending and by placing two forms opposite each other on a plinth. Even the artist's heavy sculptures are in motion and turn in the wind.
