DANIEL KARRER

Within the Artists-in-Residence Program, CCA is delighted to host the artist Daniel Karrer. Born in 1983 in Basel, Switzerland, Karrer finds most of his visual inspiration on the Internet. The processing and recombination of the raw material he finds online leads to a layered body of work that offers a surreal interpretation of virtual reality and its consequences for our current society. The subjects in Karrer’s work are derived from a wide range of visual and thematic contexts; most are representational, and they all meet uniquely on a two-dimensional surface, within the medium of painting. Daniel lives and works in Basel and will be staying in Studio Amarillo during June 2023.
