Andreas Dobler

Born in 1963 in Biel, Switzerland

 

Influenced by psychedelic culture and Surrealism, as well as science-fiction aesthetics, throughout his practice, Dobler has drawn and subverted subject material from realms such as post-modern architecture, batik, graffiti, kitsch erotiscm, pop music and art history. His paintings present a spatial interplay of contradictory objects, antipodal spiritual attitudes and mismatching textures. The scenes he creates are always devoid of human figures, although human presence is ingrained in the material and materials portrayed.
