| Klaus Enrique |
|
| Klaus Enrique /ˈklaʊs ɛnˈriːke/ is a Mexican-German Post-Contemporary sculptor |
| and photographer who employs Arcimboldism as his means of expression. His work is |
| primarily concerned with the human condition, and its art historical context. |
| |
| Biography |
| Born in 1975, Klaus Enrique grew up in Mexico City. He studied genetics at the |
| University of Nottingham, England, and received an MBA from Columbia Business |
| School in the City of New York. Enrique was a freelance SAP consultant before he |
| turned to photography, which he studied at Parsons and at the School of Visual Arts. |
| Enrique began to receive worldwide attention in 2007 when his portrait of |
| “Mother & Daughter” was considered for the Photographic Portrait Prize at |
| Britain’s National Portrait Gallery. Subsequently, Enrique has been nominated and |
| short listed for various awards. In 2011, Klaus Enrique was the winner of The Curator |
| Award / Emerging Artist of the Year for Still Photography. In 2013, Enrique’s |
| “Vertumnus” was included in “The History of Still Life in Ten Masterpieces”, as the |
| Tenth Masterpiece alongside works by Cezanne, Goya, and Warhol. In 2015, Enrique |
| was commissioned to create the Peter & Gwen Norton Family Christmas Card. |
| Enrique’s work is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, |
| The Leslie/Lohman Museum and the Haggerty Museum of Art. He currently lives in |
| New York City. |
