About Carola Paschold
The painter Carola Paschold is an attentive chronicler of our time. She portrays contemporary celebrities such as Angela Merkel, Johnny Depp, Marilyn Monroe, Wassily Kandinsky and also the people in the street. Paschold knows how to bring out the features of her models in bright colours and with intense contrasts.
Her paintings are often reduced to a few colour tones and look like pop art prints. She paints them in her personal artist expression, which is quite classical with oil on canvas based on analogue photographic models.
In 1982, Paschold completed her graphic design studies and worked for several years in advertising agencies. Since 1989, she has been a freelance artist and has been featured in many solo and group exhibitions as well as collections. Since 1997, she has been the director of the Freie Kunstschule Korschenbroich, Germany.
Depiction of typical scenes from daily life in painting, whereby a distinction can be made between peasant, bourgeois and courtly genres.
The genre reached its peak and immense popularity in Dutch paintings of the 17th century. In the 18th century, especially in France, the courtly-galant painting became prominent while in Germany the bourgeois character was emphasised.
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.
