Jo Niemeyer (born in 1946 in Alf, Germany) is a concrete artist and designer. Niemeyer's work is based on the observation of the nature through the use of mathematics and, especially, the "Golden Section". He experimented with various media such as photography and film video. Today, he principally uses painting to compose his graphic works. Niemeyer also realized sculptural objects and big scale project such as the land art "20 steps around the world". In his work, Niemeyer makes a connection between art and nature, between the artistic action and the experimental work. His artistic production which is fundamentally based on natural principals and measures is nothing more than a sequence of experimental steps which implies given and objective criteria and subjective factors in the same way. On the one hand his work is based on events in nature and civilization as well as on communication with his colleagues of other disciplines. According to Niemeyer, the dual pole nature - art is not only the basis of his experience but at the time also his central theme. His main interest is directed to the perception of space, time, distances and proportion and forms the synthesis between art and nature which implies in the end a dialogue between man and nature.

Over the years, Niemeyer has held successful one-man and group shows in Scandinavia, Italy, Switzerland, Israel, USA, England, Japan, Argentina, and Finland. His murals in public buildings can be found in countries all around the world including Switzerland, Germany and Scandinavia. Featured in numerous international publications and films, his works can be found in public and private collections and museums throughout the world including in Japan, Germany, Canada, Holland, Finland, Germany and Austria. Today, Jo Niemeyer works and lives in Germany, France and Finland.
