meta cars

In Meta Cars, Beni Bischof transforms found images of cars into visual distortions. Through digital manipulation and radical simplification, the original shapes are abstracted – reduced to ghostly and ridiculous silhouettes that feel both familiar and alien. The result: automotive hybrids with an almost hypnotic pull. Drawing on the aesthetics of American muscle cars and the TV shows of the 1980s and ’90s, Bischof taps into a retro sense of coolness – reframing it for the digital age with irony, intensity, and unsettling beauty. 

Beni Bischof, based in St. Gallen, is a Swiss artist whose work includes drawing, painting, collage, sculpture, and installation.
