CHRISTIAN HOLZE

Christian Holze is a German painter, sculptor and installation artist.
Holze was born in 1988 in Naumburg (Saale), Germany. From 2011 to 2019 he studied media art at the Academy of Visual Arts Leipzig, where he graduated as a master student. He also studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna (2015-2016) in the sculpture class of Julian Göthe and Anne Speier and at the University of Fine Arts Hamburg (2019-2020) in the painting class of Anselm Reyle.
He is best known for his complex installations, in which he combines various artistic categories such as sculpture, painting, photography, video and 3D graphics in digital and analogue form. His work explores aspects of authorship, commodification and copying in the visual arts, and is often created from visual material that is anchored in the art historical canon and digitally accessible. Holze uses 3D graphics software to create his works. This technique allows him to simulate extensive work processes and incorporate computer-generated random results into his artistic process.
In 2022, Holze was awarded the Kaiserring scholarship for Young Art, which included a solo exhibition at the Mönchehaus Museum in Goslar, Germany.
