Florian Meisenberg

Florian Meisenberg was born in 1980 in Berlin, Germany and lives and works in New York. Meisenberg’s work oscillates between and encompasses painting, installation and film. Meisenberg’s paintings simultaneously conjure lightness and depth; they vary greatly in density and rendering, employing multi-layered compositions that display themes of digital apprehension and abstract interiors alongside cartoonish figures and scrawling statements. His delicate, oblique films capture intrigue in the banal moments of contemporary existence.
