Colour modulations calculated on the computer and thus completely independent of the artist's subjectivity dominate Bruno Kaufmann's graphics. With his working method, he is one of the representatives of so-called concrete art. Non-objectivity, colour modulations, structure and material make up the effect of his works. The artist's central concern is "the tension between perception and cognition".

Bruno Kaufmann was born in Balzers, Liechtenstein, in 1944 and studied art in Zurich and Berlin. In 1970 he became a master student under 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 konstruktive 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.
