About Burkhard Kern
Burkhard Kern's (born in 1963) style is characterised by a distinct love for detail, which is linked to naturalism. His mostly large-format landscape paintings, captured in oil paint, practically transport the viewers into other worlds and invite them to reflect and contemplate to reach new insights.
Burkhard Kern's works are part of private and public collections, have already been shown in numerous exhibitions and are represented by several galleries. The artist lives and works in Hanover, Germany.
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.
