Torben Giehler

Galerie Frank Elbaz, Paris

Galerie Frank is pleased to announce the opening for the first time in Paris,recent paintings and drawings by German born artist,Torben Giehler.

Giehlers paintings combine elements of geometrical abstraction and color field painting into futuristic landscapes.Working first with freehand drawings,Giehler then completes alterations of dimension and color with the assistance of his computer and digital photography.The process goes back and forth before the images are finally laid onto canvas.

The paintings are influenced by everyday urban as well as virtual landscapes that inhabit our increasingly digital imaginations.There are recognizable forms laid out in skewed perspectives. Cityscapes shimmer,gleaned from aerial views.Colors resonate with unnatural intensity,evoking sunsets fueled by the emanations of our technological advances.

For Giehler,these landscapes gestures ultimately are a structural framework that transforms immediately into line,color and form.He states « I am trying to create a situation whereby pictorial events are recognizable and meaningful and at the same time can be seen as pure abstractions ».

Torben Giehler is a graduate of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts,in Boston Massachusetts.
He has been the recipient of the James William Paige Fund as well as a recipient of the Clarissa Bartlett Scholarship.
In 1999 he exhibited in « Travelling Scholar » at the Museum School in Boston.
