Barbara Muhr

Photographer Laukart

Barbara Muhr works as a visual artist predominantly in large-scale figurative paintings as well as screenprints. Her colorful works combine realistic but mostly fictitious portraits with abstract surroundings and overlaps. She mixes acrylic and oil paint with crayon drawings and tapes to indicate different layers of physical and psychic states of people. Her motifs derive from classical art history and literature such as allegories and iconography of love and death, which are transferred into contemporary topics of coming-of-age and identity crises. Currently she works in her studio in Regensburg and exhibits in Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic and was awarded several art prizes in Germany.
