Hervé Graumann, a trailblazer in Swiss digital media art during the 90s, gained widespread recognition. This computer animation features Raoul Pictor, a character reminiscent of “Super Mario, ” engaging in a creative process that highlights the evolving nature of digitally generated art.

Graumann’s artistic exploration extends to video sculptures like “EZmodels, ” where he transforms photographs into three- dimensional structures, creating an eerie world that challenges conventional perceptions.

In the series “Patterns, ” Graumann subverts expectations by crafting ornamental compositions through traditional artistic methods, not digital copy-pasting. The resulting patterns represent a fusion of genres, incorporating elements from Pop Art, Nouveau Réalisme, photography, and ornamentation, offering viewers a dynamic and multifaceted visual experience.
