Lars Breuer
Lars Breuer creates large wall works that underscore the global political landscape of crisis. His compositions address the language of authority and the shifting instability of meaning and significance in contemporary life. Breuer works with language and comprehension, while striving for order in his wall works, balancing not just the architecture of the wall but the space that separates the public from the private and the past from the present.
Lars Breuer (born 1974, Aachen, Germany) lives and works in Cologne, Germany. Solo exhibitions include Ludwig Forum for International Art, Aachen, Germany; Galleri Kant, Denmark; Kunstverein Paderborn, Germany; SchauOrt Gallery, Switzerland; and Temporary Gallery, Cologne. His works have been included in group exhibitions at Museum Konkrete Kunst, Ingolstadt; Pori Art Museum, Finland; Gdańska Galeria Miejska, Poland; Museum Morsbroich, Germany, KIT/ Kunsthalle Düsseldorf; ZKM/Museum für Neue Kunst, Germany; Sydney College of the Arts, Australia; and the 10th Kaunas Biennale, Lithuania.
