Trained in weaving techniques, Thomas Bayrle lay out figurative or abstract images to compose patterns. This principle is used in his paintings as well as sculptures and photomontage. He also creates animated movies by compiling photographic images that form another figure when put together. In (b)alt, the images of the artist filmed during his everyday activities are to those of his newborn grand-son.

 

Born in 1937 in Germany
