Alf Löhr (b.1957 in Germany) Löhr trained as an artist at the Academy of Modern Art in Düsseldorf with Ullrich, Reusch, Heerich, Richter and Beuys and moved to London where he received a Ph.D. at the Royal College of Art for his public art projects. Continuing his research in this area with the support of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation he moved to Seattle and San Francisco in the following years, where he was visiting Prof. at the School of Art and a fellow to the Department of Comparative Literature at the University of Washington, focusing on post modern conditions to socially engaged process orientated art in the U.S. During his tenure he organized international conferences on public art, ‘Can artists make a difference?’ On his return to Europe Löhr taught as a senior lecturer at the Environmental Art Department at the Glasgow School of Art and took a leading role as a board member of the German artist association Deutscher Künstlerbund in Berlin and the international artist association IGBK. He was awarded the UWIC Fellowship in Cardiff where he founded Art and Ecology Research Projects, an initiative to enable interdisciplinary projects for artists with industry and professionals. In Britain he carried out large scale public art projects for Roles Royce Turbine Manufactures, the Michelin tire company, the county of East Kilbride, the cities of Edinburgh andcollaborated with Hermes, Paris and Studio&Partners, Milano. From 2006-8 Alf Löhr was made visiting Prof. of painting at the Monash University in Melbourne which allowed him extensive travels through the Australian desert. The confrontation with such wilderness provoked a determination to focus solely on his life long passion for painting. He returned to London in 2008 and took a studio in Bloomsbury and lately in Whitstable, Kent, where he paints large abstract works on paper and canvas that capture time and fluidity.
