Gabrielle Graessle studied graphic design at the Zurich University of the Arts. During the first 15 years of her career in Switzerland, she became known for her charcoal drawings, which entered numerous public collections. In 2000, she relocated to Spain and France, where her practice evolved significantly. Since 2017, Graessle has focused on a new body of work centered on large-scale painting, defined by bold, pop-inflected color and a strong visual presence. Charcoal drawing remains a fundamental element of her process, forming the basis from which her paintings develop. Her work is guided by a direct and intuitive approach that moves beyond representation. Operating through processes of reduction and synthesis, she reconfigures fragments of film, personal memory, fashion, and everyday visual culture into autonomous visual worlds. Graessle’s series emerge through fast, spontaneous working methods. Her paintings balance immediacy with compositional clarity and are marked by a vivid, expressive, and distinctly pop-oriented visual language. Since 2021, she has exhibited internationally and participated in various art fairs. Her work is represented by galleries in the United States, Spain, and Germany, UK,USA, Asia and several art fairs around the world. Selected exhibitions and art fairs
