Amaury Wenger studied architecture in Paris and Berlin. The exploration of architecture and its historical, social, scientific-technical and aesthetic dimensions is the beginning of his artistic practice.
Wenger sees the cognitive potential of visual art as direct access to complex, intuitively elusive contexts. In series, he addresses various theoretical questions, which he explores in the context of artistic research. He finds aesthetic equivalents for scientific, philosophical, epistemological and historical impulses. The work itself is absorbed in its compositional and chromatic structure.
Predominantly abstract, his work remains open and accessible. The reduction of a subject to its essence not only serves to illustrate it better, but also allows for a low-threshold approach to aesthetics. Often elementary geometric forms are used to provide the eye with the tranquillity it needs to focus on the essential.
Wenger's photographic work, which has won numerous awards and been exhibited throughout Europe, questions the changing relationship between past and present, new and historic architecture as spaces created by and for people.
Amaury Wenger lives and works in Berlin.
