About Viktor Lau
The works of Viktor Lau, born in Kazakhstan in 1963, surround an enigmatic aura and fascinate with mysterious pictorial subjects from realistic and magical dream worlds.
The qualified art therapist deals with the boundaries between reality and dream - with the unconscious, the fantastic. In his pictures, the artist combines his realistic view with magical moments deriving from his dreams.
Viktor Lau has already been represented in numerous national exhibitions with his surrealist pictures.
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.
