About Michael Ramsauer
Michael Ramsauer is a natural painter. The artist was born in 1970 in Oldenburg, Germany and uses traditional techniques to paints pictures of the highest intensity. Ramsauer studied painting at the Hochschule für Künste in Bremen. After his exhibition debut in 1994, further exhibitions followed at home and abroad.
Driven by the desire to paint, he masters the exciting interplay of spontaneous shaping and calculated omission terrifically. The effect is fascinating and captivating. Michael Ramsauer's stirring informal painting style and restless application of paint always lead to a vivid and figurative pictorial idea. Human figures merge with abstract colour spheres.
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.
