Description from the seller
Oil painting on canvas by Kuno Schiefer
Dimensions: 100 x 100 cm
Includes 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 draftsman who spent most of his life working in Brazil. His oeuvre includes paintings, drawings and prints, with his Brazilian period particularly characterized by influences from tropical nature and the landscape. He attracted attention early on and was exhibited in major galleries in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. From 1985 he worked alternately 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 an almost 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 free painting style.
Viewing is of course possible. In addition, we have our own in-house framing workshop, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary. We also make use of restorers from the industry association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to make use of this, we would of course be happy to hear from you.
