florian süssmayr (1963)
Florian Süssmayr is a German artist.
In the early 80s Florian was a member of the punk movement Freizeit 81 and until 1984 performed with Lorenz Lorenz, worked as a cameraman and lighting technician. And since 1997 he has been involved in visual arts. Self-portraits often play a central role in his paintings and are closely linked to the artist's biography.
Florian Süssmayr's works, often based on photographs, surprise the viewer with their painterly reproduction of various locations. His own image is recognizable only as a shadow or reflection - in a bathroom mirror or an elevator, on the street. The personality is not important, it is fleeting, and the objects surrounding it are brought to the foreground and drawn in much more detail. Florian Süssmayr has participated in numerous solo exhibitions in New York, Tokyo and Munich.
