Beni Bischof works in an unruly and intuitive manner. In addition to his drawings, collages, paintings, sculptures, and installations, his self-published, laser copied art magazine has since 2005 borne witness to his eruptive creative urges. He translates spontaneous ideas concerning social and political issues into quirky, humorous word and image-based messages of a disarming directness. The banality of everyday life is not spared any more than current political dramas. Beni Bischof de-glamorises the noble appearance of purported exclusivity and draws a picture of society characterised by his unfathomable sense of humour. He draws his image and text materials from trivial literature, fashion magazines, advertising, and even the virtual world.
