Pia Fries (*1955) is an award-winning, internationally active artist. Her artistic signature is characterized by a viscous, modelling application of paint. For her, color is a sensual, independent material, which she places unmixed directly on the picture support, blurs, scrapes off and reshapes.
Her works combine painting, screen printing and lithography to create poetic pictorial worlds, but without revealing a plot. Set pieces of botanical plates are often printed on the canvas. The interplay between the scientific depictions of plants and the painting picks up on the core theme of transformation in nature. The titles, which contain Latin expressions, also make the poetic nature of the painting tangible in the language and reinforce the multi-layered character of the pictures.
The Aargauer Kunsthaus is showing a representative selection of her work.
