Bernd Vogel

Bernd Vogel is a photographer, sculptor, painter, and digital artist trained under Jürgen Klauke at the Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen and Rolf Lieberknecht. His abstract-figurative, amateurish technique deliberately plays with the contrast between unprofessionalism, playfulness, and traditional forms. In his works, he explores the aesthetics of absence and intentionally leads the viewer down false paths with a deliberate openness to interpretation. His art reveals a tongue-in-cheek distrust of logic and evokes a liberating lightness that encourages the questioning of apparent certainties.
