In his paintings, Johannes Bosisio explores the relationships between mankind and machine and the transgressions of dualism such as the separation of: figure and ground, body and mind, material and Immaterial, organic and inorganic, animals and machines. His work celebrates transformation, freedom, desire, and hybridization by depicting organic bodies fused with technological prostheses. Through his use of once smooth and shiny chrome surfaces that are now scratched, rough, and alive, Bosisio reconsiders our relationship with technology and its impact on our lives and identities. His approach is informed by the work of authors Donna Haraway and Andy Clark, and his art challenges traditional boundaries and creates new possibilities by merging organic and technological forms.
