Mel Bochner is an American conceptual artist whose work spans drawing, painting, photography, and installation. His early works pioneered conceptual art through measurement systems, diagrams, and language-based investigations. Later “Thesaurus” paintings use bold color and layered text to interrogate meaning, humor, and translation.
Bochner’s practice examines how language organizes experience while exposing its instability.
