Leon Löwentraut (b. 1998, Kaiserslautern) works as a contemporary painter. He lives and works mainly in southern Portugal and maintains a further studio in Mönchengladbach.

His works are designed to establish an immediate visual connection and unfold their impact when viewed up close. Line, charcoal and paint structure the picture plane and form figures that oscillate between fragment and condensation. The works evolve from drawing and painting, revealing their creative process.

Alongside his paintings, he produces charcoal drawings on handmade paper as well as sculptural works in bronze and stainless steel, in which Löwentraut translates the lines of his drawings into three-dimensional space.

His works have been exhibited internationally in museums, exhibition venues and galleries, including the Bavarian National Museum in Munich, the Osthaus Museum in Hagen, the Ernst Barlach Museum, the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana in Venice and the Palazzo Medici Riccardi in Florence. Further presentations have taken place at venues including the Kunstforum Wien, the European Parliament in Brussels and UNESCO headquarters in Paris.

Works by Leon Löwentraut have also been presented at international art fairs such as Art Miami, art KARLSRUHE, Luxembourg Art Week and Art Toronto.
