Marvin Lange (born March 8, 1996) discovered his fascination for the visual arts at an early age. Encounters with the haunting imagery of Zdzisław Beksiński, the poetic materiality of Anselm Kiefer, and the deeply human empathy of Käthe Kollwitz left a lasting mark on his artistic development.
Today, Lange’s work moves within the interplay of Surrealism, Abstraction, and expressive Figuration. His paintings are direct translations of inner states, shaped by personal experiences, societal impressions, and existential questions. Distinctive are his powerful, sweeping brushstrokes, oscillating between eruptive energy and quiet suggestion.
This fusion of emotional intensity and gestural freedom forms a unique visual signature. Lange’s works not only open aesthetic spaces for the viewer but also invite a profound emotional engagement – navigating between closeness and distance, reality and dream, transience and hope.
Hi, I am Tara, and I currently have seven paintings from Marvin. The “Aura” painting I recently received was inspired by the typical colors of Southwest Florida, with its pristine turquoise waters, blue skies, golden sunsets, colorful birds, and palms. The painting found its perfect spot in my house and can be seen from many angles in the living room.
Just a few weeks ago, I received a set of two summer-inspired paintings, “Summer Breeze” and “Golden Summer.” The golden backgrounds perfectly match the Aura’s golden strokes.
My family, friends, and business partners are as enthused by Marvin’s paintings as I am, and I can’t wait to meet him again, either here in the US or in Germany. I am very fortunate to be one of his early collectors and promoters.
Marvin Lange: „The US singer Redray Frazier was very grateful for the painting I made for him. My artwork is now hanging in Redray’s new music studio in Portland, OR, next to a Keith Haring!
My painting inspires him a lot. That makes me proud.“
