Gregor Becker (born in Mainz, Germany) is a visual artist whose work explores the relationship between light, material, and memory. Living and working between the Black Forest and the Tuscia region of Italy, Becker conceives the act of making as a form of cultivation—an ongoing dialogue between human gesture and the living matter of the world.
Educated in graphic design in Mainz and in Landscape Architecture at Sapienza University of Rome, Becker began his career in the field of garden and landscape design. His experience shaping organic environments across Germany, the United States, and Australia laid the structural and conceptual foundations of his visual language. The disciplines of drawing, rhythm, and spatial composition inherent to landscape practice continue to inform his sensitivity to surface and form.
Art has always been Becker’s medium of observation and expression. In 2014, his practice reached a decisive turning point with the development of his distinctive paper mosaic technique, through which he translates his experience of landscape into a tactile and luminous material language. In his hands, paper becomes a living organism—hand-painted and assembled into watercolor tesserae that absorb light, pigment, and time. The mosaic, reimagined not as ornament but as a topography of perception, unfolds as an architecture of light and color that echoes the pulse of natural systems and the persistence of human touch.
Becker’s work has been presented internationally at institutions and events including the Monmouth Museum (New Jersey, 2017), the International Paper Triennial (Charmey, Switzerland, 2017), Gallery Weekend CDMX (Mexico City, 2018), and Gallery Weekend Berlin (2019). He has also held solo exhibitions in Italy and Germany, most recently at Logical Space in Rome (2024) and Im Krokodil in Freiburg (2024).
