Leif Low-Beer
Exhibiting Artist
Leif Low-Beer’s work use elements of drawing, photography, sculpture, and found objects to reorient the viewer’s relationship to the familiar elements of his or her lived environment. In his maximalist installations, an environment of seeming chaos resolves into a coherent composition when seen from a specific vantage point. These complex scenes invest otherwise inert objects with rich fictional narratives which become animated as the viewer moves through the space. In photographic collage works, these scenes then become subject to further manipulation, building ever-receding layers of representation that present an expanded field of meaning for the viewer to navigate, adding his or her own perspective to those already represented. He has shown work both internationally and in the United States and currently works in New York Berlin and Toronto.
