About Klaus Dobrunz
Born in 1962, painter, sculptor, graduate designer
Early on, the artist's path was set towards design. In 1978, Klaus Dobrunz began his apprenticeship as a display designer, later studied visual communication at the University of Applied Sciences and then painting under Professor Alfonso Hüppi at the Art Academy in Düsseldorf, Germany. Already during his studies, his activities expanded to include sculpture and teaching. Since 1987 he has worked as a lecturer, art teacher and freelance artist. He reached the peak of his teaching career during his five-year stay in Sweden, which he left at the end of 2004 to settle in Bielefeld.
Pictures:
Ernst Ludwig Kirchner is often mentioned in connection with the expressive pictures of Klaus Dobrunz, but Dobrunz has developed his own unique style. What is important for Klaus Dobrunz is experiencing the world in its various facets. Contrasts, which are used as formal means in art, are also seen by Dobrunz in the contents of his motifs. He is constantly amazed by the paradox of waiting. At railway stations, airports, and bus stops, he sketches people who want to move quickly and are, therefore, forced to wait.
Sculptures:
The wooden sculptures, often carved from a single piece, appear as anonymous symbols of our present time. Klaus Dobrunz infuses everyday life, which we have all become so accustomed to, with tension in his sculptures, making it possible to experience it in a new way. Here, too, we encounter a contrast formed by the ordinary, but at the same time, it contains something special.
In 2023, Klaus Dobrunz opened the sculpture park "BiBrake" in Bielefeld Brake. It is an ordinary suburb of a big city that the artist wants to transform into something extraordinary with the help of the local population. The plan is to create 5,000 sculptures there.
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.
