Christoph Florin

Portrait of the German artist duo Christoph Florin, fka Low bros

The artist duo Christoph Florin (fka. Low Bros) consists of the brothers Florin and Christoph Schmidt (b. 1982, 1984, Hamburg, Germany). Their vibrant work spans painting, sculpture, and large-scale public art, combining vivid colors with a nuanced interplay of clarity and ambiguity. Their preceding dialogue and playful approach translate into carefully planned compositions that, poised between bold geometry and delicate details, capture impressions of post-digital life with all its simultaneities and ambivalences, while the creative process moves seamlessly between digital software and analog craftsmanship. Questioning dominant narratives and reflecting on the impact of personal lifestyles and privilege, their paintings ultimately exude a distinctly bittersweet tone, oscillating between loud expression and quiet introspection.

The acclaimed artist duo from Hamburg, Germany, has educational backgrounds from the University of Applied Sciences (HAW) in Hamburg and the Berlin University of the Arts (UDK). Their work has been showcased in numerous solo exhibitions, including Mirus Gallery (Denver & San Francisco), Urban Spree (Berlin), and Stolenspace Gallery (London). They have also contributed to prominent group exhibitions at venues such as the Urban Nation Museum (Berlin), POW! WOW! at the Honolulu Museum Of Art, Scope Art Show Miami, and Urban Art Fair Paris amongst many others.
