About Kani Alavi
Kani Alavi (born 1955) takes us on a journey through colourful landscapes, combining his imagination and joy of colour with what he sees with his own eyes. His special painting technique envelops his flowers in a delicate, yet intensely colourful, fragrant veil. The longing for more harmony, friendship, and love merges with feelings of summer.
Alavi lived in northern Persia until he was 25 years old. In 1980, he moved to Berlin, studied painting at the Berlin University of the Arts and was a master-class student under Prof. Klaus Fußmann. In 1996, he founded the "East Side Gallery" organisation to preserve the Berlin Wall, which has been painted by artists from all over the world. Through his exhibitions in Germany, Russia, South Korea, and numerous other countries, Kani Alavi gained international recognition.
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.
