Bruno Kaufmann's work is largely based on mathematical-geometrical principles and thus belongs to the so-called Concrete Art. Kaufmann's works are strongly influenced by information theory. Since the 1980s, the artist has worked consistently with the computer. His colour stripes thus become a calculable event, the colours and their modulations are subject to a systemic order.

Bruno Kaufmann was born in Balzers, Liechtenstein, in 1944 and studied art in Zurich and Berlin. In 1970 he became a master student with Prof. Johannes Geccelli. For years he worked as a freelance artist and as an advertising and industrial photographer in Berlin and Liechtenstein. His works were shown in group exhibitions, such as the Fondation Vasarely in Aix-en-Provence or the Haus für konstrukive und konkrete Kunst in Zurich, or in solo exhibitions, such as in the Kunstraum Engländerbau Vaduz. In 1993 he founded the Kunstschule Liechtenstein, of which he was director until 2008.
