Thomas Bayrle creates his graphic images by multiplying and distorting simple motifs from numerous sources including published material, film, video and painting. The quasiunchanging principle behind his work involves anamorphic modification of a serial motif which he then condenses into a second image. This latter is both deduced from and produced by its own repetition in a process leaving scope for infinite visual exploration.
