Until 13 Sept. Stunning architectural works challenging divisions between art, architecture and craft with an overall theme of contemplation, an opportunity to take silent refuge from chaos, commotion and confusion.
Murano-based artist Daniela Schönbächler employs a unique 'glass canvas' in a series of stunning architectural works that layer oil and ink in her debut exhibition at Riflemaker this summer. Her two- and three-dimensional works break from the decorative techniques and traditions of the world-famous glassmakers on the island of Murano, off Venice, to challenge divisions between art, architecture and craft. The exhibition, her first solo show in London, takes the idea of contrasts as its point of departure. Schönbächler believes that life is based on two opposing forces, and her paintings explore the tension created by this polarity, resulting in harmony. The overall theme uniting all of Schönbächler's work is one of contemplation, offering an opportunity to take silent refuge from the chaos, commotion and confusion of the world outside.

Daniela Schönbächler was born in Zug, Switzerland. After studying architecture in Paris, she collaborated with architect Mario Botta in Lugano, Switzerland, where her work evolved into more sculptural forms, with glass becoming the element that linked architecture to art. Further technical studies of glass in Germany, Switzerland and Italy were followed by training alongside the sculptor and mentor Luciano Vistosi in Venice, resulting in a collaboration spanning over a decade. Schönbächler continues to work from her studios in Venice and London, evolving her unique intermingling of glass and paint.
