About Frederic Paul
In the delicate, poetic works of the painter Frederic Paul, his Asian roots are just as recognisable as his great talent for capturing feelings and emotions on canvas.
Paul's style is confident and unmistakable. The intricate yet effortless-looking layers consist of a variety of media. These include Chinese rice paper, acrylic and oil paints. Paul's pictures exude positivity, organicity and vibrancy, and through their three-dimensionality and depth, convey a sense of life.
Born in 1993 into a family of artists in Munich, Germany, Paul expresses his connection to his roots in the Philippines. His works are abstract and inspired by the beauty of nature. Raw Chinese rice paper is coloured with pigments and ink and then dried. Each individual sheet is hand-shaped and a unique piece. The individual sheets are collaged and then layered and refined with oil colours. This process imparts a distinctive character, expressiveness and depth to the artworks.
While the young artist lives and works in Würzburg, Germany, he has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions around the world. Paul's works are collected in Germany, London, Belgium, France, Russia, the Netherlands, the United Arab Emirates, Hong Kong, Sweden, the Philippines and the USA.
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.
