GEORG LOEWIT
Exhibition from 08.06.2024 — 13.07.2024
As in Georg Loewit’s sculptures, people play the main role in his paintings. In public places and locations, the artist uses his camera to capture views of people from behind and translates what he has photographed into a different medium through creative processes. The naturalistically detailed protagonists made of wood, bronze or aluminum are given a smooth, silhouette-like front and present themselves to the viewer in outline. Unusual perspectives, extreme incidence of light, strong shadows and precise forms characterize Loewit’s works. Architectural elements and the surroundings are faded out and reduced to monochrome surfaces. The artist lives and works in Innsbruck. His works are represented in collections and have been presented in national and international exhibitions.
