The exceptional Swiss artist Miriam Cahn is distinguished by her singular and extraordinary body of work, as well as by her uncompromising artistic stance. In her paintings and works on paper, she engages with political, social, and above all feminist themes. At the center of her oeuvre are creatures that appear both human and animal-like. She seems to penetrate them as though by X-ray, turning their innermost being outward in order to confront us with the fragility and vulnerability of all living creatures.
