About Christian Krieter
Christian Krieter was born in Duisburg and studied painting at the Düsseldorf Art Academy with Reinhold Braun and Herbert Brandl.
"Painting is like becoming conscious or the never-ending monologue, a process of being turned inside out. One is practically on a constant search for the secret, the hidden," that is how the aspiring artist explains his approach.
Krieter's paintings sometimes seem like the visualisation of surreal dreams. In his works, Krieter combines what he has seen, experienced and imagined into a pictorial narrative that is able to evoke very individual chains of associations when the works are received.
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.
