Detailed description
Picture "MORPH II" (2019) (Original / Unique piece)
"MORPH" is a digitally reproduced illustration on partially pre-corroded metal plates featuring vectorised originals of a special comic edition. The rust on the plates matured over a long time and was adjusted through a handcrafted intervention in the process. The werewolf illustration, a special edition comic from the 1960s, has been digitally edited, and the transformation process has been rewritten.
Original 2022, coloured print on pre-corroded metal plate, bent at the top for hanging, unsealed, with certificate. Size 99 x 100 x 0.15 cm (h/w/d).’

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.
