Jill Wäber

Jill Wäber completed her training in Glasgow and graduated with a Diploma of Art Education in Scotland in 1968. In 1990, she was awarded the Canton of Solothurn’s Work Year Grant. In her pictures, Jill Wäber likes to take personal everyday objects as her starting point, which she tries to approach with as unbiased an eye as possible. She is fascinated by bizarre forms, e.g. discarded objects, which appear again and again in various cycles of paintings. Jill Wäber’s working method is characterized by her fundamental curiosity, which in turn can serve the viewer as an introduction to the picture in its recognizability. Once she has succeeded in entering a picture, one form determines another form, one surface calls for its counterpart, one color must be confronted with another in a certain relationship.
