| MATIAS KRAHN Born in 1972, Santiago, Chile He moved to Barcelona, Spain and attended the University of Barcelona (1990-95), with a year spent in England studying at the Winchester School of Art. Krahn has developed a unique style of painting with paper, using very small bits of hand-cut paper as an integral part of his pen and watercolor line drawings as well as the collages he has created of interiors, still lifes, portraits, and landscapes. These works are created within a frame that Krahn makes from discarded old doors, window frames, shutters and the like. His frames serve as theatrical stages for the presentation of his work. Starting with the background, Krahn builds up the surface, layer by layer with bits of paper as the idea/subject for the composition forms. Often the idea is accompanied by the recollection of a phrase, poetic, rustic, or literary, with the allusion giving title to the work. Still a young man, Krahn has already established a following of admirers and collectors who value the individuality of his vision and the singularity of his technique. Solo exhibitions:
