Pedro Boese
Grids and Grooves (2008)
Pedro Boese (born 1972) is a German/Portuguese painter.
Life and work
Pedro Boese was born in Beira, Portuguese Mozambique,
- 1993 - 1997 graduation from the Academie Beeldende Kunsten Maastricht in painting and etching
- 1998 - 2001 postgraduate study at the Institut für Kunst im Kontext, Berlin University of the Arts
- 2000 - 2002 guest student at the class of Prof. Lothar Baumgarten, Berlin University of the Arts
- Lives and works in Berlin, Germany
The compositions of Pedro Boese exclusively arise from the overlapping of coloured and geometric circles in the picture plane. The painting material is usually applied thinly and translucently without developing a clear texture. Therefore, excluding the precisely set outlines, the subjective painting impression is objectified to a large extent. Recent works based on a grid system.
