Branko Lenart (1948) was born in former Yugoslavia and later migrated to neighbouring Austria with his family at 6 years of age. In 1968 he became a member of the avant-garde art society Forum Stadtpark, that later grew into Camera Austria. He thought photography at the College of Art and Design and the Technical College Joanneum in Graz. Lenart is an internationally renowned photographer, who has widely travelled across the world ever since his youth. He attended various artist residencies like Apeiron Workshops in Millerton, New York, La Rochelle in Arles, France, and others in Oxford, Rome, Paris and London. His oeuvre sits between documentary and conceptual art photography. He dedicated his attention to the margins of society, be it the members of urban counter-cultures at the time or to the social conditions in the country and the peripheries. He has been exhibiting regularly since the 1970s. He has exhibited internationally in more than 50 solo and more than 150 group exhibitions, his works are in 35 collections of major national institutions in Slovenia, Austria and abroad, and he has published 22 monographs during his career. His most recent solo exhibitions include BIG SUR REAL 2023, Gallery Reinisch Contemporary, Graz (2023), Hand:Work, Gallery GONG, Nova Gorica (2021) and Eine subjektive Topographie at Graz Museum, Schlossberg (2020).
