The artistic works of Jens W. Beyrich arise from a synergy, collecting art and antiques and developing complex equation systems: mathematics as the universal basis of science and philosophy.
Beyrich is interested in patterns as decoration since the earliest cultures in human history. Geometric structures consisting of regular, symmetric, repetitive elements, that differ only in their asymmetric distribution of colour, appear unknown.
From a simple hexagonal structure containing three colours not arranged in pairs, Beyrich begins by developing a set of sixty distinguishable elements or “stars”, that can then be arranged in rectangular fields, in concentric rings, on spheres or polyhedra for a total of 10126 possibilities.
With combined printing techniques and the use of precision production technology, he creates graphics and sculptures of high aesthetic standards and astonishing symmetrical properties. For some works he designed a set of more than fifty arrangement conditions that must be simultaneously fulfilled.
An exhibition in cooperation with Philately Liechtenstein to mark the publication of the fifth collection sheet featuring stamps designed by Jens W. Beyrich.
