Christiane Baumgartner

Christiane Baumgartner is a German artist known for her large-scale woodcut prints. She was born in Leipzig, East Germany, and later studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Leipzig and the Royal College of Art in London.

Baumgartner's work is characterized by its exploration of the relationship between traditional printmaking techniques and contemporary digital technology. She creates her prints by first creating a digital image, which she then translates onto a wood block using traditional carving techniques. Her prints often depict urban and industrial landscapes, and they are notable for their intricate detail and the contrast between the soft, organic lines of the woodcut and the hard, geometric forms of the buildings and machinery she depicts.
