Hubertus Von Hohenlohe

Hubertus Von Hohenlohe - Prada Jungles

Artist Biography: Hubertus Von Hohenlohe is a Mexican-Austrian artist and alpine skier born in 1959. In addition to his sports career, Von Hohenlohe is known for his work in art, fashion, and music. Von Hohenlohe has exhibited his work in several exhibitions in Mexico and Europe. Her work in art focuses on the exploration of identity and culture, and she uses a variety of techniques and materials to create works that combine elements of painting, photography, and collage. Hubertus von Hohenlohe is an atypical artist, a man of action with a peculiar trajectory that leads him to contemplate the world from a unique perspective. His travels come to life in his panoramic photographs; Berlin, Buenos Aires, Lisbon, Mexico City, Mumbai, New York and Tokyo are some of the places where he has captured his characteristic style of street photography. His images show the world today through his eyes. Pop colors, rich textured montages and ornamental details. Hubertus von Hohenlohe began his career in 2001 with the help of the art curator Irene Dapunt, who was intrigued by the artist's peculiar style. His work explores with the idea of integrating into the urban scenes that surround us, playing the role of paparazzi that blends in with the object. Like a modern Narcissus in love with his reflection, the artist captures his own image reflected in every corner of the different cities he visits, so that the observer becomes the one observed in a visual game marked by light and color. Hubertus travels the world as an ambassador for the Leica brand, merging his image with that of characters and places that symbolize contemporary pop culture, in his portraits is present the inordinate fascination with fame and everything it symbolizes.

 

Hubertus Von Hohenlohe infiltrates in a shameless and almost arrogant way in his photographs being spectator and protagonist at the same time, an uninvited voyeur who sneaks into his own party. The artist successfully mixes intuition and careful post-production work, giving rise to a totally humorous, fresh and different work. For those of us who have been in Marbella for years, the name Hohenlohe is indisputably associated with our city, Hubertus does not seek to hide his legacy and the energy he exudes in all facets of his eclectic life can be seen shamelessly in a work where he has managed to find, with great success, an indisputable voice of his own. The works presented in this exhibition are a journey through the vibrant urban colors, fame, advertising messages and war cries that invade our space. The artist insolently and shamelessly appropriates everything that surrounds us, becoming the observer of the spectator; the observer of the narcissist.
