Armin Dietrich

Armin Dietrich is a Berlin-based artist. 

In 2017 he presented his artistic work under the title «UNCLAD» in several curated group shows and solo exhibitions. In the same year, the 25-part series was released in book form with a text by Mark Gisbourene. For «UNCLAD», Dietrich reduced the medium of photography to its components – light, color, and material – and then reassembled it in a new way, creating a painterly and sculptural appearance in this increasingly technological medium. Armin Dietrich's artwork features transparent or translucent paintings resembling large, handmade slides “floating” in front of the wall.

In 2018, Dietrich continued this mission with «GODS and MONSTERS» – a series that he exhibited in several galleries in Hamburg and Berlin, and in which he finally made the step into abstraction. 

In his last series of works titled «TRACES of RITUALS», which was first presented in 2019, he has perfected this progression. In this 20-part series, Armin Dietrich has for the first time revealed the influence of 1960s performance and conceptual art on his work. By skillfully combining images and action, he has taken his work to another level. 

During that time Dietrich realized his love for painting and finally felt ready to expand his art without photography. For him, painting is a radical act in today's world. Since 2022 he has been working on his new series of paintings and sculptures.
