Lars Rosenbohm

In the organizer's words:

The exhibition in the foyer of the Kunsthalle Bielefeld shows current works by the Bielefeld artist Lars Rosenbohm (*1971 in Lemgo). In his charcoal drawings and paintings, he opens up a space of possibilities in which the boundaries between figuration and abstraction become blurred. Based on an intuitive working process, Rosenbohm's gaze alternates between the outside, the body, the shell - the veiling and the view into the inside - the organic - the depth, beneath the surface. In overpaintings, fragmentations and additions, his motifs merge into a complex visual language that combines opposites and brings the uncertain and ambivalent to the fore.

Lars Rosenbohm (*1971 in Lemgo) lives and works in Bielefeld. His studio is located in the artist house Artists Unlimited.

Rosenbohm's works have been shown at the Museum Marta Herford, the Kunsthalle Bielefeld, the Kunsthaus Essen, the Museum Schloss Moyland, the Saarland Museum, the Westfälischer Kunstverein, the art associations in Bielefeld, Oerlinghausen, Lippstadt, Ludwigshafen, Gütersloh and Lemgo, among others. He has also exhibited in galleries and project spaces in Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne, Düsseldorf, Biel/Bienne, Austin, Barcelona, Ghent, Kassel, Wuppertal and Osnabrück.

Lars Rosenbohm's work is represented in the collections of the Kunsthalle Bielefeld, the Marta Herford and the Hanseatic City of Lünen.

He has received scholarships from the Kunststiftung NRW, the Aldegrever Gesellschaft Münster, the Landesverband Westfalen-Lippe, the Ministerium für Kultur und Wissenschaft NRW and the Stiftung Kulturwerk, Bonn.

In 2023, Rosenbohm was awarded the CityARTists Art Prize NRW as a representative of the city of Bielefeld. He has been nominated for other art prizes, such as the Belgian IKOB Art Prize and the Gütersloh Woldemar Winkler Art Foundation Prize.
