Christina Forrer creates tapestries, paintings, and works on paper that depict wild, dense scenes of conflict. Coarse figures argue, rebel, and attack each other; the compositions depict scenes of violence, torture, and aggressive embrace. The characters in Forrer’s works have big eyes, gaping mouths, and terrified expressions; they seem linked by generations as if they are all part of the same wild and comically terrifying family. Forrer’s practice is rooted in the tradition of tapestry and art (e.g. the german expressionists such as Ernst Ludwig Kirchner) and invested in the materials from which these works are made. She carefully weaves colors together to create eclectic palettes and cunning, villainous characters.
