Klodin Erb Biography

Klodin Erb (*1963, Winterthur, Switzerland) lives and works in Zurich and is among Switzerland’s most renowned contemporary artists. In 2022, she was awarded the prestigious Prix Meret Oppenheim.

Erb’s vivid, imaginative visual worlds register the emotional pulse of the present, shaped by her acute sensitivity to her surroundings and the shifting realities of contemporary life. Rooted in painting, her practice persistently challenges and redefines the medium’s limits. Techniques shift in response to content, forging a dynamic interplay between material and meaning. Her work draws from art history, myths, pop culture, literature, and digital imagery, animated by a spirit of curiosity and bold experimentation. Open and exploratory, the artist integrates film, installation, and collage into her practice, continually expanding the possibilities of image-making. Spanning three decades, her œuvre invites dialogue across time—tracing connections between early and recent works and offering ever-new constellations and perspectives.
