Gero Gries is one of those artists who consider computer-supported image production a continuation of painting via a new technical approach

Gero Gries has dedicated himself completely to the artistic creation of pictures on the computer. His large-format compositions are precisely executed and reveal classical motifs such as interiors and portraits. His pictures first suggest photorealism, but effectively exceed conventional tools of photography, so that his works are in fact more closely related to paintings. The present color print is titled ‘Bahn’ and shows a view into a tunnel shaft, as known from fully illuminated motorways. The different light effects were applied by using the technical possibilities of computer programs.

Condition:
The Lambda color print is in mint condition. The work measures 106.5 x 160 cm

Gero Gries (b. 1951)
Gero Gries was born in Marburg and initially completed his studies with a PhD in medicine. His career was lifted to a new level in the 1980s, when he started to work as a stage designer and director at the theater. Since 1989, Gries is also active in visual arts. In 1991/92 he became a visiting lecturer at the ArtCenter in Pasadena, USA. At that time he first discovered his interest in Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) which has been his main field of interest ever since. Gero Gries lives and works in Berlin. (cbo)

Gero Gries ist einer jener Künstler, die die computergestützte Bildproduktion als eine Fortsetzung der Malerei mit anderen Mitteln begreifen

Gero Gries hat sich gänzlich dem künstlerischen Schaffen am Computer verschrieben. Seine auf diese Weise generierten Bilder sind präzise ausgeführt und zeigen klassische Motive der Kunstgeschichte, wie Porträts oder Interieurs. Zwar muten seine Werke zunächst fotorealistisch an, jedoch übertreffen sie die Mittel der Fotografie um ein Vielfaches, sodass ihr Charakter letztlich vielmehr dem der Malerei entspricht. Das hier angebotene Werk trägt den Titel „Bahn“ und zeigt einen Tunnelschacht wie man ihn von beleuchteten Autobahnen her kennt. Die verschiedenen Licht- und Schattenspiele hat der Fotokünstler per Mausklick komponiert.
