Petrus Wandrey (1939-2012)

Petrus Wandrey studied at the University of Applied Sciences in Hamburg and then at the Academy of Fine Arts. He worked in various media and created illustrations for record covers as well as newspapers and magazines. Inspired by Dali and Dadaism Wandrey’s work initially showed a surrealist influence. Seeking his own formal language, he eventually found what he was looking for in the world of the early computer games. In 1978 Wandrey proclaimed his ‘digitalism’. In subsequent years various groups of works, including of sculptures, assemblages and images, that combine art and technology emerged. Since the late 70s Wandrey participated in exhibitions at home and abroad. In 1999 the Museum of Fine Arts in Leipzig honored the artist with a first retrospective. From mid June 2014 till the end of September a major retrospective titled ‘Digitalism Art – die geniale Welt des Petrus Wandrey‘ is shown in the Spandau Citadel in Berlin. (fea)
