This summer, the Gallery of Contemporary Art and Architecture will show the work of German artist Christiane Löhr.

A typical feature of Löhr’s art is the transformation of naturally fragile and sensitive organic materials into sophisticated structures that become the basis for new forms through which she then creates a dialogue between nature and civilization. At the center of Löhr’s interest is an exploration of space and forms through unusual sculptural materials.

The nature of the materials that Christiane Löhr uses may give the impression that she is interested solely in plants and animals. The main reason for this choice must be sought in her childhood, which has influenced her relationship to and familiarity with these materials. Another important factor is the experience she gathered while studying with Jannis Kounellis, a leading representative of the Italian “Arte Povera” movement, for which the use of familiar everyday objects as sculptural material was a typical characteristic.
