THOMAS BAYRLE- famous for his "superforms"
Thomas Bayrle, is one of the most prolific and pioneering German artists of his post-war generation. Since the 1960s he addresses recurrent themes such as labour, power, economics and religion, narrating the relationship between individual and collective dynamics in society.  Anticipating the pixel aesthetic in the digital image-making, Bayrle is famous for his "superforms", complex patterns constructed from images of people, goods, and machines, that the artist has interpreted through a wide range of media, from printing techniques to painting, from sculpture to film. www.frieze.com/tags/thomas-bayrle
