plant

His early works from the 1990s reflect his interest in geometrical-formal pictorial spaces and figurative-staged pictorial conceptions. They show a wide range of handicrafts from etching, drawing, painting, sculpture in wood, artificial stone, bronze and stage design. The geometric-formal images are reminiscent of Concrete Art (“red angle”, 1995), Op-Art (“2 green rectangles on orange”, 2000) and minimal art (“opening, green point”, 1995). In the exhibition “Body and Geometry”, 2007, Galerie im Turm Berlin, Koehler brought together the stylistics of Concrete Art for the first time with the pictorial, figurative painting in the picture “Body & Geometry - Greetings from Bisky” (2007) to create a new type of image. He is interested in "the aesthetic connection between the cold planned, drawn-out picture and the representation of mangling, contorted figures." The artist's works are in the Callay collections, Paris, in the German Bundestag and in the Vordemberge-Gildewart Library, Osnabrück.
