About Alexander Lufer

My name is Alexander Lufer and I create art as long as I remember myself. I work in series, for me it is the best way to develop my style and avoid staying framed or pressured by one conception. During the last 10 years of my work I have been concentrating on technologies and how they influence art. You can not imagine today’s mankind without digital technologies. So I focus on breaking the barrier between conventional traditional art and new technologies. I assert the primacy of form, its liberation and potential. State of the art technologies make it possible to create a form that was inaccessible to the creators of previous generations, to go beyond prototypes and labels of meaning. An artist is no longer obliged to copy, reflexing and interpreting the reality, now more than ever he is able to create something fundamentally new. Just as the Internet freed up the text, allowing everyone to be the author and publisher, development of technology freed up the form, making it independent from nature, subordinating it to human imagination or artificial intelligence. Plastic arts like sculpture, painting, design etc. deal not only with form, but also with ideas, emotions and feelings. But the form was always much more important for plastic art than for example for music or literature.

I believe that  It is very likely that the digital revolution taking place before our eyes will radically change art. And if I'm lucky, I can reflect these changes in my paintings.
