Lucie Stahl

Lucie Stahl is perhaps best known for her inkjet prints, in which she scans mundane objects such as dead leaves, potato chips, ties, and spices, and encases the resulting prints with coats of polyurethane. The works embrace a format generally seen as posters and printed advertisements, and yet, the improbable arrangements of desperate materials composed with both consideration and irreverence, reject the designed rhetoric of commercial imagery. Stahl moves fluidly among media, working with sculpture, installation, and digital media.

German-born Stahl currently lives and works in Vienna. She’s held solo exhibitions at Freedman Fritzpatrick in Los Angeles, Galerie Gio` Marconi in Milan, Paradise Garage in Los Angeles,  What Pipeline in Detroit with Tom Humphreys, dépendance in Brussels, Lost Property in Amsterdam, Galerie Meyer Kainer in Vienna, and Kölnischer Kunstverein in Cologne with Běla Kolářova among others. Stahl has participated in numerous group exhibitions, at such venues as Vilma Gold in London, Tomorrow Gallery in Toronto,  and Bortolami in New York. She is a winner of the Belvedere Contemporary Art Award 2011.
