Description

This artwork is a compelling exploration of human silhouettes depicted against a soft, ethereal backdrop. The composition presents an array of figures, each walking in various directions, rendered in muted tones of blue, brown, and black. The artist skillfully employs a misty ambiance, evoking a sense of transience and anonymity. Central to the piece is the juxtaposition of the shadowy figures against a subtly glowing, almost luminous background. This contrast accentuates the enigmatic and serene quality of the scene. Among the silhouettes are diverse characters, including a child on a bicycle and an individual walking a dog, which adds layers of everyday life to the narrative. The arrangement of figures and their indistinct forms challenge the viewer’s perception of identity and individuality, creating a universal representation of the human experience. The distant moon, vaguely visible in the composition, imbues the scene with a sense of time and endless continuity. Through its unique blending of form and color, this artwork invites contemplation on the themes of solitude, connection, and the passage of time. The artist’s technique in blurring the lines between reality and abstraction compels the viewer to reflect on their own journey and place within the broader tapestry of life.

Christine Seiterle, Away like yesterday and tomorrow
Switzerland  • 1969

Presentation

Born in 1969 in Schaffhausen in Switzerland, Christine Seiterle studied design, painting and drawing in different European countries (Germany, Austria and Switzerland). Painter and illustrator since 1990, she lives and works between Switzerland and Paris.

Her travels in Norway, Italy, Canada and New York have influenced a lot her pictorial style. The artist inspires herself with her daily life to realize her artworks, in a figurative and narrative style. The citizens, her main subjects, are staged in their everyday life, with a grey or white background, which eliminates any idea of time or place. For more clearness she reduces her composition to the essential elements, creating a clear and direct message. Which allows the viewer to only focus on the behaviour and the movements of the characters.

Today her artworks are presented in public institutions as the Allerheiligen museum or the municipal museum of Schaffhausen. In 2019, the Allerheiligen museum hosted Christine Seiterle's exhibition ZeitRäume and published the catalogue with the same name.
