BIOGRAPHY
Marco Reichert’s works seemingly depict a veiled face or fingerprint, using black and wavy horizontal lines creating quasi-abstract paintings with a hint of figuration. However, Reichert has no interest in a representational image, as the faces are the result of pareidolia in which the mind of the viewer completes incomplete structures with familiar forms. It’s these structures that form the foundation of his artistic practice.
His unique technical procedure consists of a sophisticated, and unique creative process, implementing machinery using computer technology. The German artist studied Information Technology before dedicating his life to painting. Doing so, Reichert’s works hover between painting, graffiti and computer art, creating a play of balance and contrast between the mechanical character of his black lines and the expressive interventions by the artist himself.
Marco Reichert (b. 1979, Berlin, Germany) resides and works in Berlin, Germany. After studying Information Technology at the Humboldt-University in Berlin, Reichert achieved his MA in Painting in 2011 at the Kunsthochschule Berlin Weißensee. In 2014, the German artist received the Eberhad-Dietzsch Kunstpreis for painting. He has participated in solo and group exhibitions at renowned institutions, such as the Kunstverein Weinheim – Collection Baumgärtner in Weinheim, Germany; the Herbert-Gerisch Stiftung in Neumünster, Germany; the Georg Kolbe Museum in Berlin, Germany; Freies Museum Berlin, Germany; or Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin, Germany. Reichert has exhibited and is represented by emerging and renowned galleries in Germany, the United States of America, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, Denmark and France.
