Painting Room Basel is a painting atelier structured and based on the principles of Arno Stern. We invite you to find your own space, your own pace and your existing or new resources in our specially-designed studio!

You are not expected to bring anything but yourself to the painting class. High quality materials are offered to participants and are included in the price. You can immediately start painting freely, following your own instincts and wishes. Then, once the Painting play has started, it’s only a matter of time until spontaneity sparks.

Self-expression, Spontaneity and Enthusiasm in a space free from pressure, competition, imposed themes and judgement – that’s what we call Closlieu. Everything in our workshop comes together to enable you to tap into these resources which we all have and have always had ever since we were children.

The participants paint while standing, using broad white papers pinned on the colorful walls. In the middle of the room there is a narrow palette-table with the paints and brushes. The Practitioner takes part in the sessions without teaching, commenting on or categorizing the drawings.
