Hanspeter Hofmann

 
The life of Hanspeter Hofmann (born in 1960 in Mitlödi, Switzerland, lives and works in Basel) seems to be a romantic artist's biography: trained as a natural scientist, he turned to quasi-alchemical experimentations as processes of form-finding, and to printing techniques for grounding his pictorial work.
Seen from an another angle, Hofmann also refers to the visual clichés of the consumer culture industry as they are represented in mass media, and recontextualizes its icons at the profit of an artwork's aura.
