Klaus Lenzen

The German photographer Klaus Lenzen has been dealing intensively with photography for over ten years. He lives in Ratingen, a neighboring town of Düsseldorf. The representation of structures, shapes and colors in a minimalist, reduced manner are his preferred topic. The concentration on the essentials characterize his works, nothing should distract the viewer from the motif. He sometimes also emphasizes the minimalism of his works by means of support with shades of gray. In contrast to his minimalist pictures, he occasionally makes excursions in the design of large -format, colorful collages. He artistically brings numerous individual photos of the same motif. Many of his pictures were awarded international photo prizes. The success of the Sony World Photgraphy Awards should be emphasized. In 2018 and 2021, a category was achieved in the Open Competition, 2023 was one of his picture series in the Professional Competition Shortlisted.
