Leading Swiss-born NZ artist set for Sydney exhibition in two styles

A leading Swiss-born New Zealand artist will launch her art exhibition of contrasting styles at the Sydney’s Arthouse on February 14.

Ruth Stirnimann, the only New Zealander to show at an international exhibition in Buenos Aires last year, will have 11 geometric and three flowing abstract works.

``I love the yin-yang energies; the joy of exhibiting in the beautiful city and the contrasting but nevertheless complementing styles. Being on the international art scene gives me passion and energy for painting. I will be exhibiting in New York in May and I just keep going, just loving it,’’ Stirnimann said today.

The Buenos Aires exhibition in August was a turning point in Stirnimann’s career. She is different from most other artists but it brought her in to contact with such talented artists from all over the world.

Stirnimann is a Kiwi but was born in Basel, Switzerland. She has been a full-time artist since 2004. Her paintings are expressions of creative, harmonious vibration underlying all life forms. They embrace changing patterns of being and support harmony and balance on a holistic level. She says her works as healing paintings, restoring harmony and equilibrium on an individual and universal level.

She opened her new studio at Kaikoura, two hours’ drive north from Christchurch, on January 11 at 11.11am. It was called the 11.11.1.11.11 opening exhibition, very symbolic of her geometric styles.
She is such a clever and sought-after passionate artist who puts all she can in what she creates on the canvas, which is inspired by her flowing energies. This is her first Australian exhibition and she will be at the February 14 opening.
