Timeline
Loretta Lux (born 1969) is a fine art photographer known for her surreal portraits of young children.
She lives and works in Ireland.
Lux was born in Dresden, East Germany.
She graduated from the Academy of Visual Arts in Munich in the 1990s, and debuted at the Yossi Milo gallery, New York City in 2004.
Lux executes her compositions using a combination of photography, painting and digital manipulation.
Her work usually features young children.
She trained as a painter at Munich Academy of Art, and is influenced by painters such as Agnolo Bronzino, Diego Velázquez, Phillip Otto Runge.
The artist calls her own works "imaginary portraits, dealing with the idea of childhood"
Her portraits are not portraits in the conventional sense, but rather constructed ones.
"I make the person my own. A portrait allows the artist, as well as the viewer, the chance to mirror themselves in the other and to reflect on their own existence."
Lux often uses vast landscapes and empty spaces as backdrops in her staged photographs in order to depict alienation.
"I believe man is alienated from the world. Industrialization and destruction of the natural environment have made it impossible for man to feel at home in the world."
she stated in an interview.
and "I think we are all rather lost, lost in a world we cannot understand."
In a review in The New York Times, Roberta Smith calls her works „some of the weirdest, most subtly manipulated pictures of our over-digitalized moment.“ Other critics have described her portraits as "as charming as they are creepy" (The Village Voice) and noted that the children "have the air of self-created beings, a race of tiny Nordic monsters" (New York Times).
In her essay, Francine Prose suggests that seeds of her East German upbringing are found in Lux's photographs.
"... during Lux's childhood, the state channeled reality through the upbeat fantasy of Socialist realism. This was a society in which the cult of secrecy and surveillance was a daily reality.
Works by Loretta Lux are housed in the following public collections:
