About Petra Lottje

Petra Lottje, a Berlin-based artist, has carved out a unique niche in the contemporary art world with her minimalist yet expressive drawings and thought-provoking video installations. Born in Westphalia, Germany, Lottje's journey to becoming an artist was unconventional, initially studying social work before pursuing fine arts. Her artistic process is deeply intuitive, often creating up to 50 drawings in a single session to capture the perfect expression of her inner energy. Lottje's work explores the delicate balance between the individual and society, focusing on the smallest social units and the tensions within families as a microcosm of larger political structures. Her drawings, characterised by sparse yet powerful lines, have the remarkable ability to transform as the viewer observes them, revealing hidden depths and interpretations. Lottje's approach to video art is equally innovative, with installations like "Timecode" (2016) demonstrating her keen understanding of presentation and timing. Despite her technical prowess, Lottje maintains a preference for spontaneity and raw creativity in her work, often using ordinary printer paper for her drawings and embracing the unpredictable nature of her artistic process.
