About Anja Struck
A master of atmospheric staging
The painter Anja Struck places people at the centre of her work and stages them in landscapes, sequences of movements or portraits. She says that every figure she paints represents her emotional world. "Every work is a piece of myself, unconcealed, naked and honest." Struck achieves the special mood in her paintings through a deliberate blurring: motifs and contours blur and dissolve into veils of colour.
Struck was born in 1961 in Hamburg, Germany. Today she lives and works in Lüneburg. She studied graphics and design, art education and painting under Markus Lüpertz, among others.
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.
