Cillit, Bang, Dash, Omo And Friends • Beni Bischof

Known for his dark and obvious disposition for chaos, Swiss artist Beni Bischof creates frenzied drawings, paintings, collages, sculptures, and photo-manipulations that expose the everyday banality of contemporary society. Cillit, Bang, Dash, Omo And Friends is a collection of strange black and gray paintings that shift between abstract patterns and human identity, both lurking beneath the shadows. Dark, violent faces materialize within a cluster of wavy lines, splatters of black ink transform into a sea of dead bodies, and faceless creatures prowl the pages, projecting a malevolence that reverberates within the thick washes of paint.
