Description from the seller
Oil painting on canvas by Kuno Schiefer
Dimensions: 150 x 200 cm
Includes a book about Kuno Schiefer
Provenance:
- Legacy: Kuno Schiefer family estate
Kuno Schiefer (Stuttgart, 1948 – São José dos Campos, 1992) was a German painter and graphic artist who spent most of his life working in Brazil. His body of work includes paintings, drawings, and prints, with his Brazilian period being particularly characterized by influences from tropical nature and landscapes. His work was noticed early and exhibited in important galleries in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. From 1985 he alternated between Brazil and Berlin, which had a significant influence on his artistic development.
In his work Schiefer developed from figurative depictions of everyday objects to expressive, often abstract interpretations of vegetation and nature. His paintings are characterized by intense colors, a strong sense of light, and an almost musical rhythm in composition and brushwork. Through the interplay between Europe and Brazil, a personal visual language emerged, in which he gradually detached himself from figuration and arrived at a more introspective and freer painting.
Viewing is, of course, possible. In addition, we have our own in-house frame shop, celebrating its 85th anniversary year. Furthermore, we make use of restorers from the professional association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to make use of this, please let us know.
