Givan Lötz

Born: 1982, Pretoria, South Africa

I am an artist because I am uncertain.
The moments of obsession involved in my art-making aspire to achieve a mood of catharsis. I have a desire for innovative and dislocating descriptions of life through a willingness to confront it in all its contradiction and complexity.

Givan Lötz is a visual artist and musician who lives and works in Johannesburg. He holds a honours degree in Information Design from the University of Pretoria.
