Mathias Lempart is a Polish-German artist and graphic designer born in 1990 in Ozimek, Poland. He received his Diplom in Communication Design from the Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design, Germany, with minors in Art Research and Product Design. He has conducted seminars, workshops, and artist talks at various universities and institutions in Germany, France, and the UK. Together with his design partner Sascia Reibel, he co-founded Shortnotice Studio, Berlin in 2020. With a focus on contemporary art and visual culture, Shortnotice Studio celebrates a speculative and open-ended approach to graphic design, creating a space for collaboration with professionals from other fields of thought. Their list of clients ranges from NIKE to Kunsthalle Basel. Mathias has exhibited internationally in non-commercial contemporary art spaces such as Künstlerhaus Bremen, Germany, the Museum of Humor and Satire Gabrovo, Bulgaria and Nida Art Colony, Lithuania. Currently Mathias is exhibiting in the group show The Art of The Palliative Turn at the Bauhaus Museum Dessau. He is included in the 100 Best Posters from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland in 2019 and 2021. In 2020 he was a German Design Award Newcomer nominee. This year, together with Sascia Reibel, Mathias has been awarded the Peter Jacobi Foundation stipend, which includes an exhibition and a one-term teaching position at the Pforzheim University, Germany.
