LOUISA GAGLIARDI was born 1989 in Sion, Switzerland. She studied in Ecole Cantonale d’Art de Lausanne ECAL(BA, 2012) and Gerrit Rietveld Academie (2011). She lives and works in Zurich. Louisa's paintings exist as reflections: internally, of artist
and viewer, and of the rapid acceleration of technology in our
visualized and socialized worlds. Their liminal status, as both
digitally rendered images and physically confronting objects, speaks as
much to contemporary concerns of self-mediated personas as they do to
the compositions and narratives of the classics of art history.
Her works are part of several international collections such as:
Collection Banque Pictet, Geneva, CH, Collection FRAC Normandie, FR, Kistefos Museum, Jevnaker, NO, MAMCO, Geneva, CH, MASI, Lugano, CH, Sammlung Hoffmann-La Roche, Basel, CH, Sammlung Ringier, Zurich, CH, Sigg Art Foundation, Le Castellet, FR / Jeddah, SA, TANK, Shanghai, CN, The Julius Baer Art Collection, Zurich, CH, VandenBroek Foundation, Sassenheim, NL, X Museum, Beijing, CN, Zabludowicz Collection, London, UK.
