About Birgit Fechner
Birgit Fechner paints consistently abstractly and gesturally, her working method is thus reminiscent of a colourful variant of classical Art Informel, but she uses the medium of collage by layering many layers of paint and glazes and then partially removing them again.
Fechner on her work: ‘With my approach, I try to get closer to the complexity of life in order to give form to the contradictions and the increasing difficulty of evaluating and categorising reality. Intensity, the unfathomable and joie de vivre are constantly side by side.’
The artist lives and works in Berlin.

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.
