Tina Schwarz

Tina Schwarz, Untitled, 2014, Acrylic, Oil, Pastels, and Ink on Canvas

Born in 1977 in Friedberg, Germany, Tina Schwarz completed a residency at Hooper Projects, a private residency program for artists located in Los Angeles. She is inspired by the graphics and drawings of the Old Masters, whose basic designs she sketches on paper, using them as starting points for her paintings. Schwarz combines these motifs with the theme of linking historical and current events.

Allegorical in nature, Tina Schwarz’s creations establish reference points between current political developments and the philosophies of artists such as Francisco Goya. The human body in its vulnerability and physical presence, often broken up in form and transformed, is presented as the central focus of her work. Paintings by Tina Schwarz has been exhibited at both Slag Gallery in New York City and Galerie Korfeld in Berlin.
