The artist
Christoph W. Band born in Vienna , Austria.
Working more than 20 years in sales in the IT industry incl. Borland, CISCO Systems, SUN Microsystems. During this period of time he became intrigued by the development of systems of communication. This lead to his studies in philosophical and religious traditions as they relate to the development of science and technology. In 2011 after travelling throughout Europe and Asia, he embarked on his journey to interpret his acquired knowledge and experience in communication systems. This culminated in his first works MONTBLANC Fountain Pen graphic art on paper series.
He continued his exploration as a pioneer in IT – artificial intelligence art forms incorporating the philosophical and scientific perspectives of notable scientists like Rupert Sheldrake.
At first glance the graceful, feathered swings of the pen in structures such as lines and circles appear simple but in fact therein lies a more complex linear form. The compositions are closely connected to the place of their creation.
„It describes a dynamic line of energy to the different places where I drew the compositions. I have expressed my emotional condition in pen and ink.Parts of the original drawings have been professionally enlarged, thereby making it easier to see not only the line format, but also the craft needed to draw every ink molecule. What is not immediately visible to the eye is therefore made visible and new discoveries can be made at every observation. Later i found the joy of studying coincidence and doing art performances and the happiness of social projects“.
