Aindreas Scholz
Scholz was born to an Anglo-Irish mother and a Sudeten-German father in Wiesbaden, Germany. He experienced a culturally rich upbringing, dividing his time between Ireland and Germany in a bilingual family setting. His artistic journey unfolded as he studied photography at the Technological University Dublin (TU Dublin) under the mentorship of Dr Anthony Haughey, igniting a profound interest in visual narratives.
Relocating to London, UK, Scholz pursued postgraduate studies at Goldsmiths College, University of London. He delved into critical and contemporary art-making theories and practices under the mentorship of Turner Prize-winning luminaries such as Dr Elizabeth Price, Grayson Perry, Mark Leckey, and Laure Prouvost.
With this broad knowledge, Scholz further honed his skills as a teacher at the Institute of Education, University College London, specialising in imparting art and photography education to young people.
His works have been exhibited across European events, including Rotterdam Photo Festival 2022 XL in the Netherlands, and Rotlicht Festival for Analog Photography 2022 & 2023 in Vienna, Austria, where he was a joint-winner.
Scholz’s works have been recognised at important environmental exhibitions like Climanosco in Schaffhausen, Switzerland and Extraction: Loss and Restoration in King’s Lynn, UK.
Recent events include FUTURES Photography 2023, Amsterdam, where he was nominated by PhotoIreland, and being both a finalist at Select/24 as part of Photofusion in London and the 2024 Vintage Photo Festival in Bydgoszcz.
Scholz’s artistic contributions have been acquired by the Office of Public Works in Ireland, the NHS Foundation Trust in England, Goldsmiths College in the United Kingdom, Galerie Kruse in Germany, and the collections of IBASHO Gallery and Frédéric de Goldschmidt, both in Belgium.
