Lutz Fritsch

Lutz Fritsch was born in 1955 in Cologne, Germany, where he still lives and works today.

He studied sculpture at the Düsseldorf Academy of Arts and has received numerous prestigious awards, including the “ars viva” Award from the Federation of German Industries (BDI) in 1984 and the Leo Breuer Award from the LVR Bonn in 2014.
He is particularly known for his monumental sculptures in public spaces.
 

For more than 30 years, Lutz Fritsch's approach has been characterized by an intuitive, playful, and analytical examination of line, color, surface, and space using a variety of media. His interest focuses primarily on the questions: What shapes our living space? And what influence does color have as a central “substance” in our society? This is reflected in his works, which include sculpture, drawing, photography, and jewelry.

Lutz Fritsch is fascinated by the line as it represents nothing other than itself, not as applied in writing or architectural drawing, for example, but as it appears on paper, on the wall, in space, and now on the body. This new bodily paradigm, inherent of course in any jewelry project, has opened up a new field of action for the artist, in which he has deployed all his inventiveness.
 
In the fall of 2019, Lutz Fritsch began designing small sculptures to be worn on the body. He developed his new ideas during the various lockdowns of 2020.

Lutz has been collaborating with the MiniMasterpiece gallery since 2022.
