Concept Artist
Christian Lorenz Scheurer’s life is as
detailed as his matte paintings and concept art.
Born in Switzerland to a zoologist father and
an artist mother, Christian studied math and
science before moving to the art academy in Brussels,
Belgium. He worked on several films, won the
Philip Morris Award for his graphic novels, got
struck by lightning and moved to Hollywood. As
a concept artist, Christian worked on The
Fifth Element at Digital Domain before contributing
to numerous commercials, theme parks and feature
films, including Titanic, Dark City, What
Dreams May Come and The Matrix.
Moving to Hawaii, Christian joined Square One
to work on Final Fantasy:
The Spirits Within. He also contributed
to the game
Final Fantasy IX, and produced concept
and matte art for The Animatrix. Currently
in Los Angeles, Christian was the production
designer for the
short film Labratz, and art directed
the video game Lord of the Rings: The Return
of the King for
