About Sigurd Wendland
Sigurd Wendland's paintings thrive because of their liveliness and radiate powerful presence. With his expressive and colour-intensive imagery, the German painter and graphic artist interprets many classical genres of painting in his very own way. Portraits, nudes and social scenes are as much a part of his portfolio as landscapes and animal paintings. Through his art, he often expresses himself in a socially critical and provocative manner but he is also a master of quiet and sensitive tones.
Wendland, born in 1949, studied at the Cologne Academy of Fine and Applied Arts and the Berlin University of the Arts and was a master-class student of Fred Thieler. Since the early 1980s, he has exhibited his works in museums and galleries throughout Europe. At the same time, he organises events for plein-air painting and curates exhibitions. Sigurd Wendland lives and works in Berlin and Templin-Groß Dölln in Brandenburg.
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.
