Schlier

Drawing

Daniel Schlier is a graduate of Decorative Arts in Strasbourg (Sarkis workshop).

Professor of painting at HEAR Strasbourg and HEAD Geneva, he was then appointed to the Beaux-Arts in Paris. Both a painter, draftsman and engraver, Daniel Schlier attempts to contain the complexity of the world in his painting. Multiplying supports – canvas, marble, glass, wood – his works are all possibilities for generating a new world.

The figures, landscapes and various grotesques are like organisms, in permanent debate with the very elements that constitute them. He has notably exhibited at the Grand Palais (Paris, 2006), at the MAMC in Strasbourg (2007) and at the Beijing International Art Biennale (2009).
