Description from the seller
Oil on canvas painting by Kuno Schiefer
Dimensions: 155 x 155 cm
Comes with a book about Kuno Schiefer
Provenance:
- Estate of the Kuno Schiefer family
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 œuvre includes paintings, drawings and prints, with his Brazilian period particularly marked by influences from tropical nature and the landscape. His work was noticed early and exhibited in major galleries in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. From 1985 he alternated working in Brazil and Berlin, which had a significant influence on his artistic development.
In his work Schiefer evolved from figurative representations 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 a nearly musical rhythm in composition and brushwork. Through the interaction between Europe and Brazil, a personal visual language emerged, in which he gradually moved away from figuration toward a more introspective and freer painting.
Viewing is of course possible. In addition, we have our own in-house framing workshop, celebrating its 85th anniversary. We also make use of restorers from the professional association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to use this service, we would of course be pleased to hear from you.
