Peter Kogler has developed a set of recurring motifs – ants, brains, globes, light bulbs, interlocking lines – which he has been using in a wide range of two-and three-dimensional media for the past 20 years. This deliberately limited iconography is constantly evolving, keeping pace with technological advances. The red and grey benches were laser cut in steel, following a digital template modelled on an ant. These new techniques are as common in industry as they are in art, and so Peter Kogler simultaneously creates a bench and a sculpture, thus rejecting the traditional divide between genres.
