Peter Buechler German, b. 1965

Pixelated paintings, complex assemblages in metal lockers and inkjet prints on heliogravure: Peter Buechler's artistic work is in the tradition of Marcel Duchamp's diversity, paired with contemporary multilayeredness. The Berlin-based artist combines found materials and archival documents with striking inscriptions and slogans as well as various techniques from printing, painting, installation and object art. From the confrontation of the found with its viewers, each ready-made thus becomes a ready-date, waiting for an ever new reading by ever new recipients. Peter Buechler uses old masterly techniques and at the same time breaks with their conventions, constructs picture-in-picture paintings from separate canvases and provokes viewing and interpretation habits through censored faces, bodies or organs.
His works are represented in public and private collections all over the world. He has participated in over 50 exhibitions at home and abroad, including in Amsterdam, Basel and New York. Born in Celle in 1965, Buechler was named one of the "World's Top Ten Artists to Watch" by the Huffington Post, and with his studio, which he opened in 2019, he has become an institution in his own right in the Berlin art scene and a source of inspiration for his contemporaries.
