(*) Volker Bussmann (Waldshut, Germany, 1945) is a German visual artist, printer and publisher, renowned for his contributions to Concrete Art, geometric abstraction and the study of visual perception in the second half of the 20th century.
Between 1965 and 1970 he pursued higher art studies in Frankfurt. In 1968 he supplemented his theoretical profile with research stints at the prestigious Courtauld Institute of Art and Warburg Institute in London.
In 1969 he founded his own screenprinting laboratory and workshop in Germany. Absolute control of this process allowed him to develop a printmaking body of work of impeccable craftsmanship, characterized by raster patterns and chromatic gradients of mathematical precision.
During the 1970s he turned to Op Art. By using concentric lines, luminous gradations and mirror structures, he explored how the human eye processes volume and depth on two-dimensional supports. From 1973 he participated in notable European and United States graphic editions.
In 1976 he was appointed to the board of directors of the Frankfurter Kunstverein (Frankfurt Art Association). In the 1970s and 1980s he patented an additive color mixing system and experimented with historical techniques such as colotypy applied to botanical and anatomical forms.
His career stands out for an exceptional integration of scientific rigor, mastery of artisanal printing, and the currents of the German geometric avant-garde.
