Albert Oehlen
Albert Oehlen (born 1954 in Krefeld, West Germany) is a contemporary German artist. Oehlen lives and works in Bühler[2] and Segovia. Albert Oehlen’s paintings are neither beautiful nor seductive. Their self-consciously brutal surfaces seem to be corrupted from within, a perversion of the paintings they might have been.His work offers a raw confrontation with the deficiencies of visual language. Albert Oehlen doesn’t use paint to convey meaning, but rather to explore the possibilities of the medium’s ‘function’. Oehlen describes his paintings as "post-non-representational". Through exploring and challenging the tropes and expectations of conventional abstraction, he strives to reconstitute a contemporary meaning for art as an independently articulate form.
Contemporary Art
Contemporary art or modern art is the art of today and is produced by artists living in this era of the twenty-first century. It is a reflection of society and issues relevant to ourselves, and the world around us. Contemporary art is a dynamic combination of concepts that challenge traditional boundaries and is a part of a cultural dialogue that concerns larger contextual frameworks such as personal and cultural identity, family, community, and nationality.
