Marcel Bühler

Marcel Bühler (b. 1969, Mülheim an der Ruhr) is a Berlin-based visual artist recognized for his innovative use of media, particularly light sculptures and collages. A graduate and master student of painting at the Academy of Visual Arts Leipzig under Prof. Astrid Klein, Bühler has received several prestigious grants, including fellowships from the Else-Heiliger-Fonds and the Sächsisches Landesstipendium. His work has been exhibited widely in solo and group shows across Europe and China, establishing his artistic voice at the intersection of personal, systemic, and cultural dimensions of art and its production.

Through a practice that spans installation, sculpture, and video, Bühler explores the layered textures of culture, examining how reality, dreams, and psychoses shape (self-)perception. His approach often brings together disparate elements-art history, wordplay, humor, and introspection-yielding works that invite reflection on the boundaries between abstraction and figuration, the conscious and the unconscious.

Currently, in collaboration with Cornelia Renz, Bühler is developing the project "Chamber of Mirrors." This joint endeavor centers on Kenneth Anger and Aby Warburg, two figures who deliberately navigated the borderlands of reality, dream, and psychosis to gain new insights into their worlds. Bühler and Renz’s process is grounded in ongoing artistic exchange and mutual reflection, forming the conceptual basis for an upcoming joint exhibition.
