Christiane Löhr

Christiane Löhr creates sculptures of impossible delicacy from found natural materials – seed pods, plant stems, burrs, and horsehair – many of which are collected from peripheral spaces or waste ground: the meeting point between the natural and urban worlds. In preserving these ephemeral materials, and in working with their inherent geometries so that the overall shape of the sculpture is based on its component parts, Löhr highlights and elevates these natural elements.

Christiane Löhr (1965, Wiesbaden) lives and works in Cologne, Germany and Prato. She studied under Jannis Kounellis at Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, and she has since exhibited her work internationally, including solo shows at Tucci Russo Studio per l’Arte Contemporanea, Torre Pellice (2019), Skulpturenpark Waldfrieden, Wuppertal, Germany (2018), the Kunsthaus Baselland, Basel, Switzerland (2016), and Taguchi Fine Art, Tokyo (2015).
