“Klodin Erb is a painter through and through. She is a great storyteller, layering motifs interspersed with pure painterliness to capture precarious moments in the existence of the creaturely in individual images, series and video works. She is driven by a curiosity about motifs and a painterly energy that, over the years, have led her to develop an unmistakeable signature style. Refusing to rest on her laurels, she tirelessly pushes painting further and further out of its comfort zone, fearlessly confronting risks along the way. The jury was won over by her uncompromising artistry.”
