Liliane Tomasko (b. 1967, Zurich, Switzerland) is a Swiss painter whose multidisciplinary practice spans painting, drawing, and sculpture, exploring perception and the relationship between figuration and abstraction.
Tomasko studied at Chelsea College of Art & Design and holds an MA in Fine Art from the Royal Academy Schools, London. She established her career in New York, where she lives and works, and her practice reflects this transatlantic formation.
Her paintings are characterised by layered surfaces, gestural mark-making, and the interplay of opacity and translucency. Through repetition, erasure, and accumulation, she builds compositions that suggest interior or architectural spaces while dissolving the distinction between abstraction and representation.
Recent solo exhibitions include Maison La Roche, Fondation Le Corbusier, Paris, France (2025); Nino Mier Gallery, New York, USA (2025); Kerlin Gallery, Dublin, Ireland (2024); Douglas Hyde Gallery, Dublin, Ireland (2024); and Nino Mier Gallery, Los Angeles, USA (2023). Her work is held in major public collections including the Albertina (Vienna, Austria); Kunstmuseum Bern (Bern, Switzerland); K20/K21 Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen (Düsseldorf, Germany); the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth (Fort Worth, USA); the Hugh Lane Gallery (Dublin, Ireland); and the Hilti Art Foundation (Schaan, Liechtenstein).
In 2026, Tomasko's work will be the subject of two forthcoming solo exhibitions: Bridge, a retrospective at the Ludwig Museum, Koblenz, Germany (opening 30 August 2026), and Les songes de la trame, curated by Marjolaine Lévy at Couvent de La Tourette, Éveux, France, as part of the Résonance Programme of the 18th Biennale de Lyon (16 September–18 November 2026).
