Drei große, quadratische Leinwände stehen nebeneinander. Sie erinnern an ein ausgeklapptes Plattenalbum oder CD Booklet - Medien, die aus heutiger Sicht fast schon so uralt und ehrwürdig sind wie die Pop Art selbst. Es ist ein modernes Triptychon in der Tradition frühneuzeitlicher Altarbilder, das verschiedene Aspekte einer ungewöhnlich kreativen und erfolgreichen Künstlerkarriere würdigt, wobei das Mittelstück und die beiden Flügel jeweils verschiedene inhaltliche Ro

When German Fine Artist Albrecht Behmel first developed his unique style of painting which he calls, “The Magic of the Swarms,” he had no idea how internationally impactful it would become, although he has already exhibited in several countries. Last Thursday evening, October 19th, his work was the focal point of a VIP Hollywood fundraiser at a private club on Sunset, known as the Hills Penthouse. The event, called “The Dark Side of Marvel-ous” raised money for Duerme Tranqu

Bonjour my friends, This fall I am going to take part in a group exhibition right under the upside down glass pyramid of the Louvre Museum in Paris. (The Louvre, baby!!!) Our "salon international d’art contemporain" starts at 7 pm; this being France I have no idea when it will end. If Paris is too far away or you can’t make it, let me know. I will be delighted to share some of the photos with you. much love! #Paris #Louvre #AlbrechtBehmel #abstrahism #France

It's always a challenge to show art. Taking photos isn't easy and a lot of things can go wrong, like light, focus, distance... But what else is new? I like to experiment when it comes to creating images and ways to show them. On canvas I find it easy, because we move our heads towards a painting, tilt, squint and so on. This is what I tried to capture in a series of pictures I took of some of my paintings. I call this series "The Magic of the Swarms - Perspectives" and I pret

Mein Freund Robby Fender aus Utah zu Gast im Studio Zollernhaus und zwei Tage Non-stop action zwischen Heidelberg und Stuttgart. Hier ein Gemälde mit dem Titel "Yoli" - eine Kaskade aus Weinblättern und Obst. #Yoli #fruit #health #happiness #RobbyFender #abstrahism #abstrahismus

Wie nennst du deinen Malstil? Ein Künstler hat natürlich mehr als einen Stil. Aber diesen hier nenne ich Abstrahismus. Den Begriff habe ich erfunden. Ich verschmelze konkrete Figuren zu abstrakten. Die Ränder sind figürlich, die Zentren der Gemälde sind abstrakt, aber eben nicht ganz, deswegen “abstrahistisch”. Wie ist das entstanden? Ich habe mich immer viel mit Licht beschäftigt, zum Beispiel als ich Beleuchter am Theater war: Wenn zwei Lampen einen Gegenstand beleuchten, e

Abstrahistic paintings are about colors and shapes. In this one about Harry Potter I gathered characters from the books and films like the Dark Lord, Snape and of course Ron and Harry and placed them next to each other so that their silhouettes overlap. It is like magic! The characters relate to each other and the stories or rather scenes emerge all by themselves. This is what "Abstrahismus" is all about. It is neither abstract nor figurative, it is a fusion. The intersection

The Magic of the Swarms as a style is both figurative and abstract, both simple and complex. I call this style “abstrahistic”. The center is an abstract fusion of specific non-abstract forms. Abstrahism is influenced by ecclesiastical lead lights and Buddhist mandalas - meditative for both the artist and the beholder. I also think of my paintings as the crazy nephews of Piet Mondrian. #featured #mondrian #abstrahism #mandala #fusion
