BIRGITT NEGRO 

RENATE LENZ 1958 born in Cologne. Already in her childhood, she discovered painting as her medium that helping her to speech. Down to the present day, the main concern of the autodidact is focused on milestones of life and trains of thought. In the process of oil painting, Lenz finds a possibility to create a visual diary, in contrast and supplemental to her occupation as a graphic designer. Expressing unspeakable, experiencing and expanding boundaries as well as describing hope, is her motivation.

Thanks to Renate for helping to promote the project HERE.

Prior to his appointment at AUK, he was a Visiting Assistant Professor at Beloit College and a Senior Lecturer at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Andersen received an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago after receiving a BFA in Painting & Drawing and a Cross-School Major in Art History & Criticism from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He was awarded a Fulbright-Hays Fellowship to research Chinese art and culture in Taiwan and China before moving to Kuwait in 2008. His artwork and point have been primarily influenced by his travels between the US and Asia over the last eighteen years.  During this time, he has watched as regions like the Middle East and Eastern Asia have emerged as economic and cultural forces and is fascinated by the tightening global web of economics, resource use, migration, and cultural hybridization. Because of this, the notions of globalization and hybridity are the central focus of his current artistic practice. Using a hybrid of traditional and new media approaches, his artwork often incorporates chinoiserie imagery, an interest acquired early on amid his mother’s collection of blue and white china.
