Arthur Löwen (*1987) lives and works in Frankfurt am Main. After studying at the Mainz Art Academy with Winfried Virnich, Löwen completed his studies in the class of painting with Walter Dahn at the HBK Braunschweig. Löwen’s work has been featured in exhibitions across Europe and in addition to his own curatorial projects, his work has been shown at galleries and institutions such as the Kunstverein Hannover (Hannover 2015), Gerhard Hofland Gallery (Amsterdam 2020), Neuer Aachener Kunstverein (Aachen 2022), Kunstverein Friedberg (Friedberg 2022), and the Basis Projektraum (Frankfurt am Main 2023). In his paintings, Löwen carefully captures physical relationships and inscribes an aesthetics of entities into an essence-giving style. In Löwen’s latest works, his own name finds its way onto the canvas. Mirrored, they become the abstract of the imprint on the front. In his large scale paintings Löwen negotiates physicality and materiality in painting. On the other hand very specific spaces are carved in the smaller works. Their rather portrait-like spatial character engages with the viewer face to face.
