Die Zeit
Born in 1971 in Chemnitz, Germany, Jörg Lozek lives and works in Leipzig. He is an exuberant member of the New Leipzig School which emerged in the early 2000s, questioning the socialist aesthetic and introducing a remarkable return to figurative painting. With Im Zimmer, the artist presents a series of broad interiors, halfway between decay and reconstruction, inspired by WWI archives. The same lonely figure, both adult and child, inhabits the rooms, his features hidden.
