Jürg Benninger lives and works in Biel, Switzerland. Through his crocheted sculptures, he has developed a distinctive artistic language in which loops of yarn evolve into poetic, whimsical, and often surreal creatures. His works combine exceptional craftsmanship with a strong narrative quality, balancing humour, imagination, and reflections on the human condition. His artistic achievements have been recognised with the Swiss Art Award, artist residencies in Berlin and Paris, and several grants from the Heinrich Danioth Art and Culture Foundation of the Canton of Uri.
