About Christina von Grote
Born in Göttingen, Germany, Christina von Grote studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich.
Her works combine breaks and contrasts within colour fields, connecting them through subtle and sensitive accents. The works are inspired by the movement of concrete art.
Christina von Grote's oeuvre is wide-ranging and complex. It is the expression of a never-ending journey in search of imaginary landscapes. By layering, overlapping, and sequencing colour fields von Grote develops spaces structured by lines and stripes. The composition of the image is subject to an ordering system, the search for perfection follows a discursive path between harmony, destruction and reconstruction. Through contrasts of light and shadow, stillness and movement, she creates a sense of expansive depth.
The artist lives and works in Hamburg.
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.
Graphic artwork in the making of which the artist combines at least two graphic production techniques.
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.
