Johannes Lotz Sold at Auction Prices

b. 1975 -

Johannes Lozt began his artistic training in 1995, when he enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts in Mainz with Friedemann Hahn. From 2002 to 2004 he completed a postgraduate degree in visual design and therapy, with Gertraud Schottenloher at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich and in 2011 he began working as a lecturer at the Saar College of Fine Arts. Johannes Lotz's first exhibition was Teuton Pop at Columbia University in 2002. His work is represented in different parts of the world, most notably Germany, although he has also participated in shows in Holland, the United States and elsewhere. Lotz has had numerous solo and group exhibitions in the last 14 years. Among them, the exhibition held at Galerie Michael Janssen in 2007, at the LeRoy Neiman Gallery in New York, and at Kunstverein Familie Montez e.V. in Frankfurt. With his work, Lotz places himself among the great tradition of the liberation and deformation of the figurative, which began in the 70s and 80s in a Germany divided by the Berlin Wall, and in which events such as Documenta rescued and debated on artistic expression and definition after the war. Some of his artistic references are El Greco, Titian, Paul Cézanne, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Caim Soutine, Francis Bacon and Maria Lassnig.
