About Danny Frede
Danny Frede is a German photographer and painter. He began his artistic career in the 2000s as a self-taught artist.
In his multifaceted work, Danny Frede deals with the technical implementation of digital design possibilities and uses traditional art-historical concepts of painting and photography. Frede's works deal with socio-political themes: Consumerism, the digital revolution, human dignity and the culture of remembrance.
In his works, he combines his comprehensive understanding of digital image processing with painting. Unyielding grids of serial rectangles, reminiscent of spatulated pixels filled with paint, become almost tangible, emerging from the surface of the canvas and seeming to grow organically towards the viewer.
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.
