Arlette Zurbuchen, Bern, like the grotesque situations, she produces for the theatre and she also directs. She shows that the theatre is in her blood and she uses this to compose her paintings. Some lavish, others are finaly detailed works but she always succeds in looking behind the mask...

At the moment Arlette Zurbuchen is exhibiting a particulary cutting style of painting. Her work speaks about life today and shows the loss of the social worth. There are bosses playing football with human balls.The game of globalisation… The artist paints against war and indifference and she does this with talent and humour.

The painting from Arlette Zurbuchen shows topical events like war, swiss neutrality... She is influenced by the «realistic» styles of the 1960's. With somptuous color contrasts and at the same time a smooth stroke, the painting tells about abundance and indifference in our society... The paintings aren't only describing, the artist is campaigning to a better world. Therefore there isn't only criticism in her work but also hope.
