The “Octopus Mountain” exhibition is ingeniously divided into four distinct sections, anchored by four poems crafted by the artist. These sections encompass the multidimensional and fantastical perspectives of ‘赏石 Kitsune,’ ‘Ichor Petrichor,’ ‘dead wake,’ and ‘olivewing.’ Through the skillful integration of these poems with artworks, the exhibition guides the audience to immerse themselves in profound themes such as time, nature, and life, allowing a deeper understanding of the artist’s unique perspective on the journey of exploration.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Rebekka Steiger

Rebekka Steiger (*1993, Zurich) lives in Zurich. She is an artist who embodies painting as a state of mind. The fusion of shapes and colors results in a fascinating visual language that suggests a progression into the unknown and sets no limits to the viewer’s imagination. Steiger graduated with a Bachelor in Fine Arts from the Hochschule Luzern (HSLU) in 2016. Since then, her works have been presented as solo exhibitions at the Kunstmuseum Luzern, Kunsthaus Grenchen, Galerie Urs Meile in Lucerne and Beijing, Kunst (Zeug) Haus in Rapperswil-Jona, and as part of a group exhibitions at Meicheng Space in Shenzhen, Haus Konstruktiv in Zurich, and Galerie Urs Meile in Lucerne, Ardez, and Beijing, among others.
