Peter Bömmels’ fervent love for music led him down a path towards art. As a self-taught artist and co-founder of the esteemed music magazine SPEX, he utilizes a unique range of materials, such as acrylic, polymer clay, and even human hair, in his creative process. His pieces are suspended in a surreal limbo, simultaneously existing within our world yet also transcending it. The strange dichotomy of his works, straddling between mundane reality and fantastical absurdity, is both disorienting and spellbinding.
Beyond his artistic pursuits, Bömmels has also dedicated himself to the field of education since the 1990s. He has held several prestigious professorships in cities such as Hamburg, Berlin, and Braunschweig. He even had the opportunity to impart his knowledge at the esteemed Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen back in 1996. In his most recent teaching role at the Dresden University of Fine Arts from 2004 to 2018, he shared his expertise in painting, graphics, and other forms of visual poetry.
