Katharina Langer ist bildende Künstlerin, die hauptsächlich mit Collage-, Mal- und Drucktechniken arbeitet. In ihrer Malerei fängt sie zeitgenössische Momente in Öl und Acryl ein. Getragen von Neugier, hinterfragend und mit dem Blick auf das Wesentliche untersuchen Katharinas Bilder den Menschen unter seiner Oberfläche. Charakteristisch ist der lose malerische Pinselstrich, der sich stets verliert, jedoch den Fokus zur Darstellung behält
Zu ihren Kunden zählen DIE ZEIT, ZEIT ONLINE, Chrismon und soziokulturelle Einrichtungen. Sie ist Mitglied des Künstlerkollektivs Waav. Neben Auftragsarbeiten verfolgt sie stets freie Projekte. Sie lebt und arbeitet in Hamburg.

Katharina Langer is a Hamburg-based visual artist, working mainly with collage, painting and printing techniques.
Driven by curiosity, questioning and a view to the essentials, Katharina’s work examines the human condition beneath its surface. She sees the beauty in people’s everyday scenes and transforms them into universal figures reflecting the whole range of the human condition we all are part of. Her paintings refer to the present but also to a past and a future. They reflect the universality of the human condition and the connectivity of everything. Though working mostly figuratively she is always playing with how to lose a form and return to it.
The starting point of a new series is selecting an image from her extensive photographic archive. The archive is an ongoing eclectic research in the field of mythology, history but also everyday scenes. From the images she is creating collages which are the inspiration for her paintings. It is the action of constructing and deconstructing the images several times during the process. She often works with one image over a period of years.
Her customers include DIE ZEIT, ZEIT ONLINE, Chrismon and socio-cultural institutions in Hamburg. She is a member of the artist collective Waav in Hamburg Wilhelmsburg. In addition to commissioned work, she always pursues free projects.
