Bernhard Buhmann explores the complexities of the contemporary world, where technology, digital communication and social relationships constantly redefine our perceptions and identities.
PARIS-B is delighted to welcome the artist Bernhard Buhmann for his solo show, entitled Echoes in the Machinery, unveiling his latest paintings.
The machine becomes a symbol of the complex structure of our society, saturated with data and information.
Buhmann’s paintings, characterized by sophisticated geometric compositions and color gradients inspired by digital graphics, weave a visual tapestry where abstraction and portraiture meet and transform one another.
Educated in sociology, Bernhard Buhmann probes the dynamics of modern society.
Buhmann’s works question the role of the individual in an increasingly technology dominated world and mediated realities. They suggest a kaleidoscopic universe where portraits transform, much like the subjects of his exploration.
Echoes in the Machinery is rooted in his reflection on the impact of new technologies and how we perceive the world and ourselves. The machine becomes a symbol of the complex structure of our society, saturated with data and information.
Buhmann blurs the boundaries between traditional painting and modern digital aesthetics. From a distance, his works appear to have been generated by a machine due to their precision. However, as the viewer approaches, they discover the traces of the artist’s meticulous work. He ensures the preservation of a human and organic dimension in his exploration of contemporary society.
Through Echoes in the Machinery, the artist points to this chaotic reality where the individual seems to be lost in the tumult of rapid and omnipresent communication.
