Promise fulfilled

Since childhood I have a special soul connection with my beloved grandfather. As a teenager, when there were problems at school, he was there for me like a friend. This made me ask him for a promise in my youth: Namely, that he would live to be 100 years old! In July 2023 he had reached 103 years

About Artist

Lennard Grohn

Lennard Grohn is a German photographic artist based in Frankfurt am Main. He studied photography at the University of Fine Arts in Mainz, where his approach to light, drawing and composition was shaped. Working primarily in black and white, he develops long-term series that explore memory, intimacy and quiet transformation through a reduced, minimalist visual language. His work moves between presence and absence, silence and emotional intensity, ranging from intimate portraits to poetic landscapes. Alongside photography, he has a background in music as a drummer and percussionist, which informs his sense of rhythm and restraint. He returned to photographic practice during the pandemic and has been dedicated to the work since.
