Adrienne Egger

An art world maverick, Adrienne Egger has a boundary-pushing attitude. With her crowd-stopping figurative works, Egger furthers her oil painting foundation, experimenting with a variety of materials and harnessing aspects of narrative, impressionism, and expressionism to weave visual storyscapes that capture feelings, culture, and humanity. For there, between her easy smile and light touch, lies the true gift of the artist. Through a life spanning nearly 5 decades spent equally on two continents, she has come to understand that we are all the same, wanting to be understood. This is reflected in the international scope of her collector base, private & corporate, found everywhere from Hong Kong, San Francisco, Aspen, New York, London, Ibiza, Paris, Hamburg, Vienna, and München, to a charity auction at a polo tournament in St Moritz, the living room of Austrian rock’n’roller Andreas Gabalier, or even your neighbor down the street. With deep empathy beyond words and conventions, she holds out her hand to us and challenges us to take our vulnerabilities, our messes as well as our victories, and turn them into something we can love. Be it through her artwork, workshops, design, handbag collection or events, Adrienne elevates everyone her work touches, revealing the extraordinary in ourselves in order to comfort us, lift us up, and laugh with us. | "The characters I paint live and love unapologetically, passionately, and with the strength of vulnerability. They challenge and embolden us to live freely and to shine."
