"Presentation of large-format prints"
12 December 2007 - 24 February 2008
On the occasion of Egbert Moehsnang's 80th birthday the Museum of Fine Arts Bern is presenting a selection of his newest works which have never before been exhibited. They are large-format prints in which the nuances between light and dark reveal mysterious depths. The fact that the works were created on the computer is surprising. It was only six years ago, and by chance, that Egbert Moehsnang discovered digital image processing and its transposition into gravure. His unexpected affinity with digital technology - the artist does not use computers in his everyday life - opened up an almost genealogical experimental field in his search for imagery.
