life and work

Elisabeth Masé studied between 1979 and 1983 at the University of Art and Design in Basel. In 1994 she taught as a guest lecturer at the Oslo Academy of Art and from 1984 to 1997 as a lecturer at the Basel School of Design and Art.

In cooperation with Artists Unlimited , a politically independent artist group, she organized an artist and folk festival in Bielefeld in 1999 for the benefit of war disabled children in Kosovo . In cooperation with architects she was able to realize several art projects in public spaces. She designed several books and graphic editions and has also been a writer since 2008. She published short stories, poetry and a novella.

She has received numerous awards, including the Manor Art Prize in 1992 in connection with a solo exhibition at the Kunsthalle Basel . Elisabeth Masé lives and works in Berlin .

In her work, Elisabeth Masé deals with the physical self-perception and the associative power of the unconscious . In the course of her artistic development, she explored this subject in a stylistically and technically diverse way. In its abstract as well as in its figurative narrative phases, vulnerability and forlornness, dreams and trauma, but also sarcasm and humor shape the painterly, graphic and, since 2008, also literary Plant. Masé often combines the classic genre of the portrait with complex, disturbing sequences of images.
