Iconoclast (9) Photograph - Limited Edition of 1

Cur­rently living in Leip­zig, German artist Loreen Hinz (born 1983) has esta­blis­hed her­self as a fix­ture in inter­na­tio­nal Fashion & Portrait Pho­to­gra­phy. Her work can be found in nume­rous magazines (ELLE, Brand, Œ, Schön!, Material Girl, Creem, and others) and on the web­sites of renow­ned labels. On this basis, Hinz attri­bu­tes her fashion and por­trait pho­to­gra­phy to what she con­siders gene­tic raw mate­ri­als, clas­si­cal por­trait pain­ting from the 16th to the 19th cen­tu­ries. Refe­ren­ces to Old Mas­ters such as Titian, Cara­vag­gio, or Ing­res are inten­tio­nally cal­cu­la­ted, yet she avo­ids rep­li­ca­ting par­ti­cu­lar pain­tings by these artists. Instead, she cap­tures and sta­ges deli­cate color pala­tes, poses, attri­bu­tes, and blur­ri­ness only as a dis­tant sty­listic ideal wit­hout ever directly repea­ting them. In con­nec­tion with her technically-perfect imple­men­ta­tion, this body of work has deve­l­o­ped an out­stan­ding visual effect and has achie­ved museum qua­lity. Her unique collages are handmade with a passion for cutting and playing with foils. Since con­tri­bu­ting pho­to­graphs from her series “InVivo” to the Ger­man web­site art—Das Kunst­ma­ga­zin and hol­ding exhi­bi­tions of selected works with Vogue Italy in Milan (2013, 2015), during Month of Photography Denver (2015) and in international cities like Hamburg, Munich, Berlin, London, Milan and others, Loreen Hinz has been reco­gnized as a high-caliber pho­to­gra­pher.
