RENÉ STANGER
About me
René Stanger is a visual artist from Karlsruhe whose work engages deeply with contemporary social issues. His artistic practice spans collage, painting, and objects, often provoking subtle yet critical reflections on societal structures. With a keen sensitivity to art history, he combines stylistic and formal elements of past eras with contemporary questions. His works challenge existing social orders and seek to propose a reorganization of these systems. Employing a critical brushstroke and sharp cuts in his collages, he reveals societal relics and hidden narratives.
Born in 1985 in Reutlingen, he completed his studies at the State Academy of Fine Arts Karlsruhe, where he had the opportunity to study monumental painting under renowned professors such as John Bock and Ernst Caramelle. His creative journey is characterized by curiosity and commitment, continually evolving through innovative approaches. Since 2014, he has been leading the platform “größerNull,” which organizes and presents art projects in Karlsruhe.
Mr. Stanger is eager to engage with galleries and institutions that share his artistic vision and can provide a platform for his work. His expertise lies in painting, drawing, and collage, complemented by successful projects in video art and multimedia installations.
