Via Lewandowsky

Born in 1963 in Dresden (Germany), he lives and works in Berlin.

Through his installations, objects and drawings, Via Lewandowsky, recently shown at the National Gallery in Berlin (Das XX Jahrhundert, ein Jahrhundert Kunst in Deutschland), has developed a body of work since the end of the 1980s in which art and science are often combined around the artist's preoccupations, excess, suffering, abnormality and death.

For le Printemps de Cahors, he presents photographs from the series Never Been There (1998-99), a set of landscapes, views and portraits that could be located in Africa but which were all created on computer, in a quasi-impressionist technique. A sense of strangeness emerges from this pointillist corpus confronting the viewer with the beauty of an unreal world.
