Nicole Böniger
Born in 1970.
Her work explores the boundary between calculation and chance: a minimalist approach that relies on the balance of colours and forms while allowing room for unexpected combinations.
Among the recurring motifs are the rounded angle—described as an «abgerundetes Viereck»—and small squares scattered across the surface, which recur as leitmotifs and are often developed in series. This formal economy is accompanied by a rich palette, marked by a preference for pastels such as mintgrün, hellblau and rosa.
A presentation entitled «Malerei und Collage von Nicole Böniger» is listed on the FHK website, indicating that her practice has been shown under the categories of painting and collage.
In summary, her work is distinguished by the tension between a restrained geometric visual language and a nuanced chromatic sensibility, in which the repetition of simple forms and the oscillation between control and chance constitute structuring elements.
