LORIENNE LOTZ
My artworks aim to explore the binaries that we continually construct and reconstruct between self and other. This mirrors the tension created by the struggle between our own villainous and virtuous selves. In our current situation these binaries are even more evident.
Lorienne completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Fine Art at Michaelis UCT (2013) and was awarded a Sasol New Signatures Merit Award (2014). Lotz studied in the ‘80s under Bill Ainslie at the Johannesburg Art Foundation.
Since 2008, annual intensive Rosenclaire workshops in Italy and South Africa (run by duo Rose Shakinovsky and Claire Gavronsky) have been instrumental in forging Lotz’s deeply intuitive material process with an awareness of a formal language. Her work is held locally and internationally in private and public collections.
