My Bio
“We need art that transcends the every day."
Sibylle Laubscher (CH/UK, *1971) studied Textile Design and Design Management BSc(Hons) at The University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. Relocating to Vienna, Austria for work, she continued her art education studying with Zeger van Soest. As the first living artist Laubscher won the public commission for designing mugs for Schönbrunn Palace. She moved to Switzerland where she completed a Fine Art course at a private art school, continuing her studies in art philosophy with professor and artist Martin Rabe after his retirement. She studied the Hagitude program with Dr. Sharon Blackie. She regularly explores new ideas via courses at the Royal Drawing School and is currently on their Online Drawing Development Year 2024.
Laubscher has exhibited in group exhibitions in Austria (Vienna), Switzerland, Wales, Italy (Venice), USA (New York) and solo exhibitions in Austria and Switzerland. Her work is held in private collections around the world. Laubscher designs posters and stage sets for local am dram groups. She worked as a freelance writer and illustrator for a premier Swiss gardening magazine. Laubscher painted murals in Kenya, Germany and Switzerland. She draws a monthly social and political cartoon for a premium local newspaper.
She gives talks on Art Philosophy at art exhibitions and regularly teaches art to adults - teaching how to see.
Laubscher works from her atelier and exhibition space in Arisdorf, near Basel, Switzerland.
“I have been accompanying Sibylle and her paintings for over 20 years - I see passion and a constant path to her own expression. Sibylle stays away from the vanity and arbitrariness of the art market. With her paintings, she expresses what she honestly sees and feels, beyond the fashion trends to which art is also subject.”
