Galerie Francesca Pia presents the second solo exhibition of Marta Riniker-Radich, featuring new drawings, a floor work, and a soundpiece with a text written and read by the artist. Riniker-Radich's work delves into social, political, and economic contexts intertwined with biographical, cultural, and historical references.
The exhibition does not follow a linear narrative but revolves around the motif of domesticity, blurring the lines between the intimate and the general, the familiar and the unknown. Through depictions of playrooms, make-up tables, and other objects, Riniker-Radich explores the tension between retreat and claustrophobia, reflecting on the contemporary tendency to seek security in the familiar.
Her drawings, characterized by meticulous detail and symmetrical composition, exude a refined sensuality through their surfaces and vibrant colors, transcending their technical construction. Riniker-Radich, born in 1982 in Bern, currently lives and works in Frankfurt am Main and Zurich. Her previous solo exhibitions include shows in Berlin, Glarus, London, New York, Paris, Geneva, Aarau, Langenthal, and Basel.
She also co-directed the independent art space Hard Hat in Geneva from 2011 to 2014 and has received accolades such as the Swiss Art Award in 2010 and the Manor Kunstpreis in 2016.
