NO LIMITS ft. VOLAR

08.09.2022

Gerhardt Braun Gallery, Madrid Spain

The artist has created 20 unique pieces for the opening of the Gerhardt Braun Gallery and also presents his bronze and stainless steel sculpture. In addition to his large-scale paintings, Löwentraut exhibits his new immersive art project „VOLAR“ as well. For Löwentraut, constantly developing himself and his art is an important motivation. Most of the artworks on display were created in his last painting cycle in his studio in Portugal. Inspired by the light and the colors of the Portuguese Algarve, he painted pieces such as "Albufeira Sunset" or "Blue Marlin". The intensity of the shapes and colors is intoxicating and sends the viewer on an exciting journey of discovery. 

Even if the subject matter in Löwentraut's paintings varies - from portraits to landscapes, his expressive, unique formal language is always retained.

The artist has created 20 unique pieces for the opening of the Gerhardt Braun Gallery and the NO LIMITS exhibition and also presents his bronze and stainless steel sculpture. In addition to his large-scale paintings, Löwentraut exhibits his new immersive art project „VOLAR“ as well. For Löwentraut, constantly developing himself and his art is an important motivation. Most of the artworks on display were created in his last painting cycle in his studio in Portugal. Inspired by the light and the colors of the Portuguese Algarve, he painted pieces such as "Albufeira Sunset" or "Blue Marlin". The intensity of the shapes and colors is intoxicating and sends the viewer on an exciting journey of discovery. The mood that Portugal exerts on Löwentraut as an artist is different from that in his studio in Germany. Each of these places inspires him differently in his creative process. Pastel tones, warm colors and sketching with charcoal in almost all of his unique pieces play an important role in the current exhibition. If you look at "Infinitv" or "Eternal Game" it is clearly recognizable that the sketch made with charcoal during the painting process represents the beginning of the artistic journey. The charcoal drawings are often first drafts of past experiences and journeys that Löwentraut collects in his sketchbook to then realize them later in the studio. The artist describes this process as becoming more and more important to him since the drawing incorporated in his paintings is a perfect basis for more structure and depth. With these original lines, Löwentraut begins the birth of his energetic, young, and fresh works of art which he then creates from acrylic paint. A successful mix of drawing with charcoal, thick brush strokes, and a filigree finish from the paint tube gives his pictures the extraordinary feel that is reminiscent of the modern interpretation of a relief. Even if the subject matter in Löwentraut's paintings varies - from portraits to landscapes, his expressive, unique formal language is always retained.
