IMPULSE GALLERY is honored to present the first solo exhibition of Claudia Limacher in Switzerland. In this exhibition, Limacher expresses her joy of feeling free through creative expression, creating imaginary places as a refuge and inspiration for hope and dreams. This ambition similarly motivated Claudia Limacher to start Impulse Gallery back in 2021 as the creative, impulsive and free spirit of the gallery unites both art lovers and artists alike.
Central in her new presented bodies of work are energetic wildflower works, cosmic explosions, and reflections of water. The shared commonality of unbound and free energy is accentuated through Limacher’s spontaneous use of mixed media and her impulsive brushstrokes that make each piece distinct and unique. One can detect a sense of longing as Limacher balances the contrast of light and shadow. Often, she uses ink and liquid acrylics to give her works an airy feeling symbolizing the (in)significance of ourselves. The tactile qualities and heavy textures are memories, hidden truths and words unspoken, as the organic layers of paint indicate more than our eyes can see, inviting us to question our own perceptions.

« As humans we are all interconnected, with art as the interface of all cultures. At the same time, awareness of the fragility of the present that is everchanging is a worrying yet creative thought. For that reason, my work is abstract rather than figurative. I aspire for the viewer to feel as free as I feel during my creative process through the emotions and sense of wonder I hope to share through my paintings. »

« Change is the only constant. »
In her work, Claudia Limacher creates paintings that give the appearance of being in constant change, alive with the energy of her expressive textures and vivid color. She commands an aesthetic that breaks from the strictures of figurative painting to achieve an extraordinary visual and thematic fluidity. Raised in Germany, Limacher is an auto-didact with a life-long passion for art and culture Key to the success of Limacher’s aesthetic is her ability to seemingly transform paint into abstract forms inviting the viewer to dream and mind-travel to unseen places exploring themes of words unspoken and our mysterious interconnectedness. Through her use of light, layers and motion, she wants to explore the endless depth of life.
In her creative process, Limacher feels free and unbound, exactly this blissful feeling is communicated to the viewer who she invites to interpret their own perceptions. Limacher integrates liquid and solid, transparent and opaque states, this material symphony is reflected in compositions themselves.
