About Daniel Schwarz
Daniel Schwarz was born in Bad Ems, Germany, in 1991 and studied at the Academy of Painting in Berlin. The gestural paintings seem to be fed by dreamlike memories of nature and landscape. In a broad palette and with an impasto application of colour, Schwarz reproduces in diverse compositions what he has seen or imagined.
Works by the painter can be found in the Hasso Plattner Foundation in Potsdam, the Kistefos Museum in Jevnka near Oslo, Norway and the Dr Helmut Marko Collection in Graz, Austria. Daniel Schwarz lives and works in Berlin.
"The central theme of my work is to question, with the means of painting, the seemingly self-evident idea of freedom and reality that prevails today in contemporary man. This involves the significance of romantic fantasy, the continuously dwindling relationship to dreamy nature and, last but not least, the sensual."
Term for paintings and sculptures that are detached from representational depiction, which spread across the entire western world and parts of the eastern world from around 1910 onwards in ever new stylistic variations. The Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky, born in 1866, is considered the founder of abstract art. Other important artists of abstract art are K.S. Malewitsch, Piet Mondrian, and others.
A one-of-a-kind or unique piece is a work of art personally created by the artist. It exists only once due to the type of production (oil painting, watercolour, drawing, lost-wax sculpture etc.).
In addition to the classic unique pieces, there are also the so-called "serial unique pieces". They present a series of works with the same colour, motif and technique, manually prepared by the same artist. The serial unique pieces are rooted in "serial art", a genre of modern art that aims to create an aesthetic effect through series, repetitions, and variations of the same objects or themes or a system of constant and variable elements or principles.
The historical starting point is considered to be Claude Monet's "Les Meules" (1890/1891), where, for the first time, a series was created that went beyond a mere group of works. The other artists, who addressed to the serial art, include Claude Monet, Piet Mondrian and above all Gerhard Richter.
