The AERIAL VIEWS TULIP FILEDS PHOTO SERIES:

"Bernhard Langs fotografier af tulipanmarker i Nederlandene er soberinge antidoter til Monets tipsy vandliljer og Van Goghs bedøvende hvide roser. Blomster, de ultimative motiver for den romantiske fantasi, er her begrænset af menneskehånd, masseavlede i marker tegnet som om af overdimensionerede linealer. Hvis de minder om et kunstværk, er det den kliniske geometriske abstraktion af Piet Mondrian."
The Guardian (UK) 2016

THE ARTIST:

Siden 2010 har Bernhard Lang fanget jordens overflade i sin fotobølgeserie "Aerial Views".
For at optage disse billeder fra højderne flyver Lang i helikoptere og små fly.

Langs arbejde er blevet publiceret i Times Magazin, The Washington Post, The Guardian, CNN, Wired, National Geographic Magazin, Corriere della Sera, Zeit Magazin, art magazine, mare, FAZ, Stern, Spiegel, SZ, … og har produceret kunstnerisk indhold for Apple, Aston Martin, Akris, Getty Images Creative, Sundek, Deutsche Welle TV Channel, …

Han sigter mod at finde interessante mønstre og strukturer på Jordens overflade. Han interesserer sig også særligt for at fange billeder, der viser konsekvenserne af menneskers aktiviteter for naturen og miljøet.
Langs billeder frigør os fra tyngdekraftens bånd og giver os mulighed for at få et mere distanceret syn på verden og vores påvirkning af den — både god og dårlig. Det er denne dualitet, som Lang er mest interesseret i at undersøge gennem sit arbejde, den mærkelige balance mellem skønhed og ødelæggelse, og den vedvarende kamp for symbiose mellem menneskeheden og den jord, vi beboer.

Langs værker er blevet vist i adskillige udstillinger verden over, og hans udelukkende begrænsede, museums-kvalitets Fine Art Prints findes i erhvervs- og private samlinger.
