Description from the seller
Oil painting on canvas by Kuno Schiefer
Dimensions: 150 x 200 cm
Delivered 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 the majority of his life working in Brazil. His oeuvre includes paintings, drawings, and graphics, with his Brazilian period being especially characterized by influences from tropical nature and the landscape. His work was noticed early on 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 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 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, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary year. We also work with restorers from the professional association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to use this service, we would of course be happy to hear from you.
