Andrea Hasler (b. 1975, Zürich, Switzerland) is a Swiss contemporary artist known for her visceral, highly textured sculptures and installations that explore themes of desire, consumption, identity, and decay. Working primarily with wax and other malleable materials, Hasler creates hyperrealistic, flesh-like textures that challenge perceptions of beauty, luxury, and the human body.

Her work often draws inspiration from consumer culture, politics, and the fragility of human existence. By using organic, almost grotesque forms, Hasler examines the tensions between attraction and repulsion, materialism and mortality. Her sculptures resemble luxury goods—handbags, tents, or even architectural structures—transformed into disturbingly organic, almost anatomical objects, questioning society’s relationship with excess and commodification.

Hasler earned her MA in Fine Art from Chelsea College of Art and Design in London, where she has been based for much of her career. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including at the Museum of Contemporary Art in London, the Schirn Kunsthalle in Frankfurt, and the Verbier 3-D Foundation in Switzerland, where she developed Perishable Goods—a project exploring the ephemeral nature of luxury and the cycles of consumption.

Through her art, Hasler invites viewers to confront their own complicity in systems of desire and decay, creating provocative works that blur the line between seduction and discomfort.
