Michael Dohr

Michael Dohr (b. 1982) is an Austrian artist whose work draws inspiration from the combining of the natural world with the industrialized society we live in. In his work, Dohr reflects on the manipulation of nature by creating landscapes depicting an ongoing process that involves notions of organic growth or materiality. In several of Dohr’s pieces, he plays with the concept of an artificial replication of nature, inviting viewers to analyse innovative worlds caught between an organic past and a technological future. Dohr holds a BA in Transcultural Communication from University of Graz in Austria (2013), as well as a MFA from Chelsea College of Arts in London (2021).
