Christoph Liedtke
(b. 1985 in Saalfeld, lives and works in Halle, Germany)



In 2010 Christoph Liedtke finished an apprenticeship for wood sculpture and studied at the university of art and design Burg Giebichenstein until 2016. Since then he works as a painter, sculptor, poet and sound-performer. Since 2018 he is an original member of the artcollective Rhizom Halle-Leipzig and organizes several art events. He currently publishes a volume of poetry entitled "Symmetrie der Risse" (the symmetry of cracks) and works on an illustrated book together with mentally challenged people.
The artwork of Liedtke's is about the capability and possibility of humans perceiving reality as something beautiful, undefined, and undetermined. The central leitmotif of his artwork is an ontoligical questioning of what we perceive as form. This leads towards a relativization of the phenomenon and concept from which arises the subversive force of art.

He exhibited at numerous exhibitions, such as "2018 Talents" (Munich, 2017), "Graded Present" (Burg Gallery, Halle, 2017), New Aspects of Landscape Painting, (art-price Kreissparkasse Esslingen-Nürtingen, 2016), "Home in the Foreign" (Art Foundation Saxony-Anhalt, Halle, 2015)
