(*) Bernd Berner trained early as a lithographer. However, Nazism marked an artistic turning point, prompting the young Bernd Berner to seek new forms of artistic expression, initially approaching the French Cubists, especially Fernand Léger. In 1952 he moved to Stuttgart, where he personally met Baumeister. Works from this early period are completely abstract and clearly marked by grooves and the structures of writing.
When addressing non-figurative painting within European Modernism, the term "Flächenraum" is defined from 1959 to explain his work (redefinitions and repainting give rise to a dense network, and therefore the surface appears as a new space of creation). This term remained with him throughout his life and artistic career.
In 1965 Berner founded the artist group SYN, together with Klaus Jürgen-Fischer, Eduard Micus, Erwin Bechtold, and Rolf-Günther.
Bernd Berner’s works are in numerous public and private collections worldwide.
Bernd Berner died in 2002 in Stuttgart. His artistic estate is in Cologne, at the VAN HAM art center, and in the German Art Archive in Nuremberg.
