Christian Neuman
Christian Neuman (*1979) is an artist, scriptwriter, director and producer based in Luxembourg.
Christian Neuman creates curiously tactile canvases with captivating and moving narratives. Neuman's art is a captivating journey for the senses and the rebellious soul. The artist describes his way of working: on the edge of pure expression, in order to capture the most authentic and unadorned states of human emotion. The work is wonderfully personal and theatrical, embracing a wide range of human emotions.
For Neuman, it is essential to forge a coherent aesthetic link between his works. His experience as a filmmaker is undoubtedly at the root of this approach - with methodical, thoughtful and philosophical processes creating a linear storybook experience for the viewer.
