About Alex Krull
In the light of reflections
"The profound beauty of the banality" is the central theme of artist Alex Krull, who was born in 1970. In 2015, she won the artist window competition "Water Worlds". She is fascinated by colourless matters, which transforms into dazzlingly colourful works of art only through light. The painting lecturer "captures moments in which natural abstraction creates its very own, magnificent pictorial motifs".
The continuum of her pictorial composition is the contrast between the strict geometry of the pools and the organically flowing movement of the water, which distorts all forms and straight lines into playful figures, creating a uniquely complex aesthetic that cannot be reproduced in reality. The art of painting does not know this limit, and so Alex Krull's works capture precisely these fleeting moments.
Central pictorial elements are random, almost ornamented forms, the kind we know but hardly notice. With her pictures, the artist fixes precisely these multifaceted moments without wanting to emphasise something in particular. She leaves room for her interpretation but at the same time distances herself from it: "My works do not have a deeper statement; I am only interested in aesthetics. That sounds superficial, and that's exactly how it's intended." Seeing, contemplating, immersing. That's what Alex Krull’s art is all about.
A one-of-a-kind or unique piece is a work of art that has been personally created by the artist. It exists only once due to the type of production (oil painting, watercolours, drawing, etc.).
In addition to the classic unique pieces, there exist the so-called "serial unique pieces". They present a series of works with the same colour, motif and technique, manually prepared by the same artist. The serial unique pieces are rooted in "serial art", a type of modern art, that aims to create an aesthetic effect through series, repetitions and variations of the same objects or themes or a system of constant and variable elements or principles.
In the history of arts, the starting point of this trend was the work "Les Meules" (1890/1891) by Claude Monet, in which for the first time a series was created that went beyond a mere group of works. The other artists, who addressed to the serial art, include Claude Monet, Piet Mondrian and above all Gerhard Richter.
