Florian Meisenberg’s work oscillates between and regularly encompasses painting, installation and film. Meisenberg’s paintings simultaneously conjure lightness and depth; they vary greatly in density and rendering, employing multi-layered compositions that display themes of digital apprehension and abstract interiors alongside cartoonish figures and scrawling statements. His delicate, oblique films capture intrigue in the banal moments of contemporary existence.

A solo exhibition of Meisenberg's work, Out of Office, took place at the SCHIRN KUNSTHALLE in Frankfurt in 2016.

Florian Meisenberg was born in Berlin, Germany in 1980. He now lives and works in New York, US.
