About Axel Kostorz
The artist and architect Axel Kostorz has been living and working in Munich for over twenty years. The rather strict and constructive artistic form concept of geometry stems from his professional background as an architect. Painting represents a special place for him.
He creates his works with acrylic paint on and behind acrylic glass. His technique involves a free and impulsive interplay of colours, lines and shapes, while his motif is to merge order and disorder. Generally, his works start with an idea, a certain concept or at least an imagined framework. During the process, this inevitably changes, resulting in new combinations of planned elements and those that spontaneously develop.
Since 2018, his works have been exhibited in galleries and at art fairs in Munich, Cologne, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Lisbon, New York, St. Moritz, Roermond and Amsterdam. Further exhibitions in Cologne, Venice, Paris and Munich are planned.
Term for paintings and sculptures that are detached from representational depiction, which spread across the entire western world and parts of the eastern world from around 1910 onwards in ever new stylistic variations. The Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky, born in 1866, is considered the founder of abstract art. Other important artists of abstract art are K.S. Malewitsch, Piet Mondrian, and others.

A one-of-a-kind or unique piece is a work of art personally created by the artist. It exists only once due to the type of production (oil painting, watercolour, drawing, lost-wax sculpture etc.).
In addition to the classic unique pieces, there are also 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 genre 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.
The historical starting point is considered to be Claude Monet's "Les Meules" (1890/1891), where, 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.
