Description from the seller
Oil painting on canvas by Kuno Schiefer
Dimensions: 110 x 145 cm
Comes with a book about Kuno Schiefer
Provenance:
- Family estate of Kuno Schiefer
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 oeuvre includes paintings, drawings, and graphic art, with his Brazilian period particularly characterized by influences from tropical nature and landscapes. His work was noticed early and 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 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 style.
Viewing is of course possible. In addition, we have our own in-house framing workshop, celebrating its 85th anniversary year. We also use restorers from the trade association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to take advantage of this, we would of course be glad to hear from you."
