Detailed description
Picture "Ostsee / Ærø / St. Albert" (2022) (Original / Unique piece), framed
This picture was taken on a very windy day in September on the Danish island of Ærø. The sea is a blue-green colour with white foam. In the light grey sky, a little blue shines out between the cloud banks. The autumnally-coloured, ochre-coloured grass bends in the wind. At the front edge of the picture, the light blue flowers of a chicory plant can be seen. The oil paint is applied with a palette knife and the impasto colour application gives the picture dynamism and plasticity.

"One of my focuses is plein air painting. I work in my own garden or by the Danish Baltic Sea. Over the years, I have developed a method of working outdoors that allows me to finish large-format canvases in a single session while capturing the mood of the day. The constantly changing weather and light conditions influence, either delay or speed up my painting process and composition. This way of painting is about capturing the immediate impression, the mood or atmosphere of the scene in a fresh and intuitive way, similar to how a musician reads a piece of music from the sheet."
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.
