About

Limited Edition of 75

The guiding principle behind Albert Oehlen’s art is the use of artistic freedom to not be boring. It comes as no surprise then that his art has considerably changed over time, leaving no two series entirely alike. Oehlen’s “Computer Paintings” explore abstract imagery through the use of a 90’s computer. While using monochromatic tones, the artist replicates and extends the results he obtains through a computer, and attempts to complete the piece by hand as though he were himself the computer. In doing so, Albert Oehlen liberates the formal boundaries of painting and creates an erratic and charged composition.

The Artist

Albert Oehlen

Albert Oehlen (b. 1954, Krefeld, Germany) is a German painter whose experimental practice has continually challenged the conventions of painting. Emerging in the 1980s alongside the German Neo-Expressionist movement, Oehlen developed a deliberately eclectic approach, combining abstraction and figuration with influences from advertising, graffiti, Surrealism, and computer-generated imagery.

Working across painting, collage, drawing, and digital imagery, Oehlen embraces contradiction, chance, and visual disruption. His celebrated series include the Grey Paintings, Computer Paintings, and Tree Paintings, reflecting his ongoing interest in pushing the possibilities of the medium. His work is held in major collections including MoMA, Tate, and the Guggenheim Bilbao.
