About Marc Podawczyk
Marc Podawczyk (born in 1971 in Dortmund, Germany) is a German painter who studied at art academies in Münster and Düsseldorf, ultimately as a master-class student. He lives and works in Dortmund.
Marc Podawczyk is a painter who is constantly searching for an authentic, painterly expression of himself. A few years ago, it was computer-generated constructs and colour strips (see the V-MD X series, Stripes) that reflected his organising spirit, but now it is his impressive, completely free-form works that make him appear as if liberated internally.
Through densely interwoven, varying applications of colour, he creates fantastically surreal pictorial spaces with references to nature. Intuition and improvisation determine the painting process. The spontaneity of this fast and sometimes reckless painting, with its breaks and distortions, evokes an intense dream world where events are constantly changing. The external view of the picture and the "inner mind's eye" merge. The picture shifts from optical proximity to mental distance. Associations are evoked and things flash up and disappear again, like a dream, giving the series its name: Dreamer (DRMR).
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.
