Addiction, Rights by Leon Löwentraut

Düsseldorf, 24 September 2022: "Addiction" is the title of Leon Löwentraut's new exhibition at his Austrian gallerist Gerald Hartinger in Vienna. The Hartinger Gallery has specialised in modern art for over 15 years, especially works of American Pop Art. Leon Löwentraut chose the title "Addiction" because he says he has been addicted to art since his early childhood. On display are 13 paintings - including the titular work "Addiction" (size: 230 x 190 cm) as well as charcoal drawings. All the works were created this year, some of them in Leon Löwentraut's second home, Portugal.

The artist said beforehand that his greatest inspiration is meeting and talking to people - often while travelling. He processes his impressions in sketches made on the road, which he continues in his studio.

Düsseldorf, 24 September 2022: „Addiction“ heißt Leon Löwentraut’s neue Ausstellung bei seinem österreichischen Galeristen Gerald Hartinger in Wien. Die Hartinger Galerie ist seit über 15 Jahren auf moderne Kunst spezialisiert, vor allem Werke der amerikanischen Pop-Art. Leon Löwentraut wählte den Titel „Addiction“, weil er sagt, er wäre seit seiner frühen Kindheit der Kunst verfallen. Zu sehen sind 13 Gemälde – darunter das titelgebende Werk „Addiction“ (Format: 230 x 190 cm) sowie Kohlezeichnungen. Alle Werke wurden in diesem Jahr geschaffen, ein Teil entstand in Leon Löwentraut’s zweiter Heimat Portugal. Der Künstler sagte im Vorfeld, dass seine größte Inspiration die Begegnungen und die Gespräche mit Menschen – gerne auch auf Reisen seinen. Seine Eindrücke verarbeite er in unterwegs angefertigten Skizzen, die er in seinem Atelier weiterführt.

The Wertgigant by HA Schult will make a stop in Vienna at Karlsplatz from 27.9. 2022.

The sculpture, which weighs over 1 tonne, is a projection screen that symbolises the electronic waste that German households produce in 72 seconds. Thus, theoretically, an army of 1,000 Wertgigants is created each time within 20 hours - comparable to the 1,000 Trash People by HA Schult.
