Lothar Böttcher, a well-traveled artist with a creative upbringing, predominantly uses glass sculpture and photography to materialize his art. As a sculptor, he subtracts from cold glass, akin to carving stone, harnessing its optic qualities to reveal hidden depth. His motifs, influenced by prehistoric art and personal emotional experiences, hint at the notion of "man as maker". His oeuvre is a poignant exploration of loss and expropriation, embodying both the fragility and resilience evident in every aspect of existence.
