Anton Schön

Anton Schön

Anton Schön was born in 1985 in Dresden, in the former GDR, and spent his formative years in southern Austria. He initially completted studies in industrial design und mechanical engineering before returning to Dresden to focus on visual arts. Schön earned his master’s degree in conceptual painting from the Hochschule für Bildende Künste Dresden (Hfbk), studying under Professor Christian Sery.

In 2021, after several years of establishing himself as a freelance artist, he moved to Hamburg.

Schön ’s paintings beautifully intertwine the legacy of Eastern German artistic traditions with a modern sensibility in color and form. His work has been showcased in various group exhibitions throughout Germany and has also been highlighted in solo shows in notable cities such as Vienna, Berlin, Dresden, and Hamburg.
