Welcome to random Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a random Wikipedia page every day.
The random article for Tuesday, 24 December 2019 is Torben Giehler.
Torben Giehler (1973 - ) is a German abstract artist.
Giehler was born in 1973 in Bad Oeynhausen, Germany. He is a graduate of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. In 1999, he attended the New York Studio Program.

Giehler is known for his geometric abstractions. "He is fascinated by virtual spaces which, even from the outset, always illustrate realities that are just possibilities – imaginary worlds floating between planning, construction, and unconstrained fiction." (Jens Asthoff, 2008)

In 2005, Giehler was included in the Prague Biennale 2.
