In "Window Views." the latest exhibition by Christoph Florin, the Hamburg-based artist duo contemplates our interactions with the world beyond the screens that envelop us. In their artwork, brothers Christoph and Florin Schmidt draw on their personal connection to 80s and 90s pop culture and advertising aesthetics to craft vibrant pieces. Through the use of distinct lines and geometric forms, they delve into our shared cultural identity. By merging their art school background with extensive street art experience, they construct imagined realms that offer an immersive encounter for viewers. In the past years the duo initiated a series of overlapping browser windows, which they have expanded on during the COVID lockdown to provide a more emotionally charged perspective on our collective journey in the information age. As our lives undergo digital expansion while sitting between our own four walls, a significant portion of our potential sensory encounters becomes obscured. While we gain access to new realities, what aspects do we forsake along the way? The exhibition presents a critical reevaluation of past eras while simultaneously tackling current social issues.
The retro-futuristic depiction of windowsills provokes viewers to grapple with the complexities of our contemporary society. They invite us to pursue the depicted far-off horizons while also provoking an introspection in the complex realities we live in. The fusion of painting with sculptural components creates a depth that fluctuates between emotions like despair and hope, prompting contemplation of our engagement with the world beyond our screens. In an era where our sensory experiences are increasingly digitised, "Window Views" serves as a reminder of the significance of looking past the screen and reflecting on our collective existence in the world.
Additionally, the exhibition invites viewers to ponder the evolving nature of human connection in a digitally-driven world, prompting introspection on how technology shapes our perceptions and interactions. The vibrant colours and intricate designs in Christoph Florin's works serve as a visual narrative that encourages contemplation on the intersection of art, technology, and human experience. Through their innovative approach, the artist duo challenges viewers to explore the boundaries between virtual reality and tangible existence, inviting a deeper exploration of our relationship with the ever-evolving digital landscape.

The Low Bros is an artist duo, which is made up of brothers Christoph and Florin Schmidt – formerly active as graffiti writers Qbrk and Nerd. Their work most often centers around stylized animal characters with human features, and addresses graffiti, hip hop, skateboarding and other elements which influenced and shaped the artists' youth in the 1980s and 1990s.
While the poses of the characters in the painted scenes come off as macho and overly masculine, a closer look quickly reveals that this is not taken too seriously. The Low Bros also address current topics in their work, which hint to future developments. Their documentation of the youth culture of the 80s and 90s is intended to conserve a former way of life. The use of contemporary methods, however, gives thematic glimpses into the future. The protagonists of their work embody codes and attitudes of city life, which are in contrast to the natural purity of the animal and nature motifs, also integral to their work. This tension drawn from the ambivalence between urbanity and nature gives rise to a whole Low Bros universe.
The work of the artist duo is fueled by the complex interaction between two-dimensionality and three-dimensionality: It is the synergy of geometric and flowing organic shapes, cubic effects, expressive color grids and multifaceted patterns that brings their work to life. Influences from design and illustration can be seen, as well as the cool and abstract video game esthetics from the 80s and 90s, and the psychedelic shapes and colors of ancient cultures. Great attention is also given to technical precision and detail.
The accentuated play of light and shadow intensifies the contrast and unites the seemingly un-unitable, such as street life and subtle natural mystique. This is done, however, in a rather light-hearted way, thanks to many humorous details, which become apparent upon closer examination. Ambivalence with a wink – this is how the world of the Low Bros could be described; a world where painted scenes are transformed into surreal places of wonder.
The artist duo Low Bros formed in 2011 and has since created numerous thematic series featuring their characters. Their mural, canvas and multimedia projects, as well as their installations have been featured in group shows and solo exhibitions around the world. The Low Bros live and work in Berlin.
