Anna Vogel

Anna Vogel alters the reality of the natural landscape, creating surreal, abstracted photographs with digital and hand-manipulated elements. Vogel studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf with renowned German photographers Thomas Ruff and Andreas Gursky. These New Topographics artists had a profound influence on her distinctive, personal visual language. The artist brings a new perspective to landscape photography by transforming found photographs with digital adjustments and painting on the surface with materials like varnish, acrylic, and ink. Vogel has had solo shows at the Fuhrwerkswaage Kunstraum in recognition of her Zonta Cologne Art Award (2018), Kunstverein Hildesheim (2017), and the Kunstsammlung NRW (2014). In 2020, she won a competition by the Düsseldorf Art Commission to design the artwork for a new underground terminal at the Düsseldorf airport that will open in 2024.
