Using the CODE BACH®
process
After several decades of working across mathematics, painting and musical composition, Jean-Claude Bossel began developing a new approach to painting in 2018.
He uses mathematical rules to encode messages and gives them visual form through elements such as holes and dots, which become part of the composition.
Bossel registered the CODE BACH® trademark in 2022.
Several examples of this unique approach to contemporary painting are presented in the FOCUSES ON SELECTED WORKS section of the menu.
