ARMIN BOEHM | Solo Exhibition
Armin Boehm, born in Aachen, Germany in 1972, studied at the Staatliche Kunstakademie Düsseldorf with the instruction of Jörg Immendorff and Konrad Klapheck. Boehm now lives and works in Berlin.
With a mesmerising use of colour that draws visible psychological relationships across his compositions, Boehm embeds his subjects into a prismatic world of figuration, symbolism, and cultural reference. In his works on canvas, he uses the technique of collage to conjoin paint, textiles and fabric, media from which his subjects emerge, almost sculpturally materialising in concrete space. As Boehm’s artistic journey unfolded, he began to explore the enchantment of light pastel colours in his palette, instead of being drawn to the profound allure of black.
Boehm’s work was featured in exhibitions in many international galleries across multiple countries like Germany, Denmark, Switzerland, the United States and other, including Kunstverein Braunschweig, Braunschweig; K21 - Kunstsammlung NRW, Düsseldorf; Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt; Städel Museum, Frankfurt and Me Collectors Room, Stiftung Olbricht, Berlin. His works have also been exhibited at Art Basel Hong Kong, the Armory Show in New York, Art Basel Miami Beach, Art Cologne and other major international art fairs.
