Overview

“It was my first visit to Mario Lobedan’s studio, I had seen his paintings before but was unprepared for the scale and complexity of his drawings. They were majestic things – indivisible from his work on canvas – the same massive collisions of marks and textures, the same glimpses of light beyond the surface. Like his paintings they bristled with static energy: combustible as they were spontaneous, emotional and raw, yet never out of control…”

Mario Lobedan was born in 1961 in Magdeburg, DDR and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts, Leipzig. Solo exhibitions have been held at the Neues Rathaus, Leipzig (1995) and most recently at the Kunstmuseum Kloster Unser Lieben Frauen, Magdeburg (2018) which was accompanied by a publication on his work, Allegro. Public collections include, Petrikirche, Leipzig, Kunstmuseum Kloster Unser Lieben Frauen, Magdeburg, Regierungspräsidium Leipzig, Geschwister-Scholl-Gymnasium Magdeburg, Kunstsammlung del Landes Sachsen-Anhalt.
