John Armleder is a painter, critic, curator, and performance artist from Switzerland. He studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. Armeder’s work displays themes of suprematism and minimalism. He has also done pieces that incorporate Neo-Geometric Conceptualism which involves geometric qualities. Most of his pieces display bright, eye-catching colors in neat abstract expressionist designs.

Armleder typically uses paints and clay for his paintings and sculptures, but also likes to incorporate everyday objects like tires or matchboxes to create resonating and meaningful artwork. Truthfully, his methods of artistic expression are undoubtedly variable, and have a wide range of forms and style. For instance, Apicomplexa (2013) uses common car tires as planters for splendid bushels of flowers, Sogno Infranto(2011) involves a glass formation. Armleder is well known for his work with Fluxus, an international network of artists, poets, and composers who like to experiment with their mediums and abilities. He also founded the Groupe Ecart, an independent publishing house in Geneva. Read Less
