With an education in Bauhaus architecture, fine art, and music composition,
interdisciplinary artist, Paul Lorenz combines drawing, sound performance, music, and
photography into interwoven visual and audible relationships and realities. The media
explores the public and private worlds of place, time, and self. Though blurring and
questioning the definitions of abstraction and representation, Paul’s imagery and sound
projects always allow the creative process to be the final subject.
Paul was born in Chicago. After graduating from the Illinois Institute of Technology in
Chicago (Bachelor of Architecture), he went on to study oil painting at the School of the
Art Institute of Chicago, the International School of Art in Italy (under Nicolas Carone)
and the University of California, Berkeley. Paul completed his MFA in Music
Composition from the Vermont College of Fine Arts in February 2019
Paul’s durational pieces are guided improvisations. Linear Stream (2018) and Visual
Training (2023), explored interior space by amplifying/manipulating line drawing with
graphite sticks, microphones and live musicians. His 2023 solo exhibition, Facts and
Truths, at Living Room in New York City, combined acoustic sounds of drawing and
saxophone, with suspended graphic music scores.
