Maria Hinze is a German visual artist with the main focus in painting and drawing. Born in Germany, she studied in Vienna at the Academy of Fine Arts under Walter Obholzer, in Leipzig at the Academy of Fine Arts in the class of Neo Rauch and Astrid Klein and in Düsseldorf in the class of Tal R. She has produced multimedia works and exhibited together with the light technicians Hans Leser (HAU) and Martin Schwemin (Rimini Protokoll) at Souterrain-Berlin, with filmmaker Johann Lurf and painter Florian Schmidt and other artists in the Pinacoteca Vienna. She has worked on interdisciplinary projects with Raymond Pettibon (for the art book "Dem neuen Himmel eine neue Erde"), Simon Faithfull, Taka Kagitomi and Camilla Richter and musicians such as Etkin Cekin (Istanbul), Mike Moya (Montreal) and M. Rux (Berlin).
Life and career[edit]
Hinze's artistic approach touches on contemporary and historical discourses about art and architecture, which she transfers into new formats, such as at the Archiv Massiv in Leipzig, at Acud Macht Neu and Plattenpalast in Berlin, the BMW branch at Alte Messe in Leipzig or at Haus Blumenthal, Händelallee 67 in Berlin's Hansaviertel district.
She currently lives and works in Berlin (Germany) and Montreal (Canada) with her partner musician Mike Moya (Godspeed You! Black Emperor) and their family.

Work[edit]
In her work, Hinze tackles the complexity of varying methods and approaches in order to question pictorial spaces and visual content. She is interested in finding independent structural and aesthetic means, via which her work can challenge the power of drawing and painting to influence the observer, the materiality of the line in contrast to the pictorial surface and the possible multidimensionality of both media. The transition between media influences the very core of her work. She examines the potential meaning of drawing and painting in the liminal zones between the drawn line and the painted surface in tangible surroundings,[2] as she does between an artistic mind-set and a sphere of social activity. Thematically, her work deals with concepts such as presence and permeability, visibility and invisibility, and disappearance, all from the most variant perspectives. These aspects are examined as moments of motion, as moments of appearance and acts of concealment. Maria Hinze's work is concerned with the relationship between humans and their surroundings. The human body functions as a physical medium for storing both the conscious and subconscious. Hinze comprehends herself as a storage medium for images of a world of language and form, which is rooted in the subconscious and, as such, precedes her own thought structures – intangible knowledge is translated into language and tangible space.
