John Armleder (Relié)

Born in 1948, internationally acclaimed Swiss artist John Armleder lives and works in Geneva and New York. Drawing liberally from traditional art references, he defies the limitations of style and media by mixing them in refreshing combinations. From his performances and Fluxus events of the 1970s to his famous Furniture Sculpture, and from his monumental installations to his use of drawing and painting, Armleder's hybrid, unique, and ever-changing body of work exemplifies the international contemporary art scene.
His art has been the subject of exhibitions throughout Europe and North America.
