About the Work

Simple, repetitive geometric fields fill the surface. Pictorial motifs generated on the computer and consisting of black patterns have been applied to the canvas by means of silkscreen. Minimal and Conceptual Art provide Peter Kogler with models for his works. Although he concerns himself with new media and their mechanisms, he uses canvas and comparable materials for the underlying surfaces. This ambiguity between the digital and pre-digital precisely describes the essence of his art.
