About Lara Fritsche

FRITSCHE looks closer.

Lara Fritsche observes materials, colours, surfaces and their particular qualities. She brings them together, arranging each element with precision. This is how photographs, sculptures and spatial works come into being.

Her work shifts the way we look at the familiar—with wit and lightness.

And some things glow.

"Du kannst richtig gut gucken."

Nicole Marcellini

I’m looking forward to meeting you and showing you my work in person. You can see it at current exhibitions or visit me directly at my studio at Kunsthaus Essen. Studio visits are possible by appointment anytime – feel free to get in touch.
