Thomas Bayrle studied graphic design at Offenbach University of Art and Design. After settling in Frankfurt, he became interested in representations and images of the masses, and crowds. In the 1960s, he started to produce the screen prints he called “superforms”, inspired by the simplicity, multiplicity and prevalence of advertising images. These superform prints usually focused on a criticism of Pop Art and consumer culture, while some others were reflections on the ideas of coexistence and community. Towards the end of the 1960s, Bayrle began producing installations and sculptures with plasterboard. By the 1970s, he had started to deal with themes related to the movements of urban population, such as urban landscapes, highways and the flow of traffic. In the works from this period, a special place was reserved for motors, machines, cars and wheels. Having started out with graphic and print works, Bayrle’s artistic production currently revolves around themes like machines, mechanisation, and mass culture.
