Christoph Florin

The artist duo Christoph Florin (fka. Low Bros) consists of the brothers Florin and Christoph Schmidt (b. 1982, 1984, Hamburg, DE). In their colorful works, they emphasize social structures, environmental concerns, and consumerism through the exploration of objects and abstract forms. Through their experience working in public spaces, coupled with their academic background, they construct imagined realms that offer an immersive encounter for the viewers. Christoph Florin‘s practice spans diverse media, from murals and stenciled works on  canvas to intricate paper cuts and digital compositions. Their creative process blends traditional craftsmanship with modern technology, including the use of vector-based software and stencil vinyls, culminating in paintings brought to life through meticulous  layers of acrylic paint and airbrush techniques. The duo draws inspiration from a variety  of sources, including sociology, politics, aesthetics, and nostalgia.

Through continuous experimentation and refinement, Christoph Florin has developed a signature process that balances manual craftsmanship and technological precision, enabling them to execute bold concepts without compromising their passion for hands-on creativity. Their journey as a duo exemplifies the power of collaboration, constant reinvention, and the search for resonance in both art and life.

The acclaimed artist duo from Hamburg, Germany, has educational backgrounds from the University of Applied Sciences (HAW) in Hamburg and the Berlin University of the Arts (UDK). Their work has been showcased in numerous solo exhibitions, including Mirus Gallery  (Denver & San Francisco), H.D Galerie (Paris), and Stolenspace Gallery (London). They have also contributed to prominent group exhibitions at venues such as the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, the Honolulu Museum Of Art, Context Miami, and Bangkok Art & Culture Centre (BACC) amongst many others.
