Life and education[edit]

Stefan Lenhart studied at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich, graduating in 2007.[1]

Career[edit]

In 2007, Lenhart founded the alternative art project space Tanzschuleprojects, which ran till 2012.[2] Notable exhibitions include the "Halbjahresgaben" series (2009-2011) which included work by Kalin Lindena, Daniel Man, Tim Bennett, Florian Meisenberg and Martin Wöhrl, and "Meisterwerke der Menschenheit" series (2007-2008) with Lone Haugaard Madsen and Claudia Wieser.

In 2015, he organised an Artist March in honour of the young artists who died in 1881 in what is known as the Eskimotragödie.[3][4][5][6]

A recent retrospective of his work was hosted by the Kunstverein Ebensberg in 2018, featuring his older large scale work as well as his newer paintings.[7] Another exhibition of his paintings, Trojan Horse Power took place at the Kunstverein Erlangen in 2019.[8] Three recent series of paintings were shown in the exhibition Insider for Outsiders at the Kunstverein Landshut in 2021.[9][10]

In 2021, he founded the Munich band ALTE MENSCHEN, consisting of three visual artists and an art historian (Stefanie Ullmann, Stefan Lenhart, Lorenz Straßl and Daniela Stöppel). In 2022, they released their first single and performed live at the Theatron, Monacensia and Milla Club. The band themselves describe their style as "futuristicdadapunkblues".

A catalogue of his work, Melancholie al Dente, has been published by Distanz in 2012.[1]
