New Collection
Le
Chat
Creative artistic production/ constructions of mixed media limited edition impressions. Each piece emerges as a singular, original work of art.
"My creations represent a harmonious fusion of artistic ingenuity and cultural influence, weaving together elements of sketches, Japanese watercolors, Chinese inks, watercolor paper, and intricate silk screen like techniques. Through meticulous layering and the subtle integration of Asian aesthetics, each piece emerges as a singular, original work of art, resonating with creative expression and timeless allure."
These elements coalesce to create mesmerizing 3D effects that unfold and transform with the viewer's perspective, adding a dynamic and ever-evolving dimension to the artistry. What sets my work apart is the innovative method of printing supplementary objects, shapes, and images on watercolor paper and transparent acetate sheets. These layers are then delicately superimposed onto each other, creating finished artworks that exude a vibrant, three-dimensional, nostalgic, and montage-like effect reminiscent of a poster in the form of Original Impressions.”.
No two original Impressions from the limited-edition run are identical.
The Art of
Le Chat
A Canvas Woven with International Influence
Employing unique techniques like multiple printings and transparent acetate overlays, Bayer creates a vibrant, three-dimensional effect. His "La Chats" series, embracing primary colors and diverse forms, features unconventional expressions of affection, sparking contemplation with juxtapositions and text that forces the observer to look twice and again.
A Brush with Japan: Shaping My Artistic Path
Japan, the land of the rising sun, cast its transformative spell on me during the dynamic 80s and 90s. It was here that I donned various hats - from video artist to concert stage designer, music producer, music video director, and the creative force behind live fashion shows, concerts, and interactive video projects. Collaborating with exceptional Japanese talents and esteemed corporations such as Issey Miyake, EPO, Southern Allstars, Yukihiro Takahashi, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and Pioneer Interactive Media, I drew inspiration and honed my craft. The energy of Japan's iconic events and clubs also played an instrumental role in molding my artistic style and vision.
La Chats" Series: Nostalgia and Fragmented Narratives
Inspired by the endearing figure of "La Chat," I have embarked on a creative odyssey to transform it into a collection of captivating narratives. The "La Chats" series is a testament to the current collection of unique prints, each capturing fragments of my personal history - from childhood adventures to adult experiences. Through the fusion of graphics, text, and culturally significant images, these prints become a canvas for my thoughts and emotions. They embrace primary colors symbolizing innocence and diverse forms. With a graphic style that transcends the visual, my aim is to stir nostalgia in the hearts of viewers. Unconventional expressions of affection, such as juxtaposing "I love you" with the stark imagery of a "GUN," invite contemplation and provoke profound thought.
