About Christian Sauer
Christian Sauer (born in 1977) is a master student at the Berlin University of the Arts. The city of Berlin plays, in general, a recurring role in his work, which has been honoured by numerous exhibitions.
Sauer's technique of "peinture collée" is unusual. The artist assembles dried acrylic colour particles into representational motifs and works them with a brush. Thus, he achieves quite unusual colour gradients and an enormous graphicness in the expression of the picture.
Depiction of typical scenes from daily life in painting, with distinctions between rural, 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 and gallant painting became prominent, while in Germany, a more bourgeois character developed.
Giclée = derived from the French verb gicler "to squirt, to spray".
The Giclée method is a digital printing process. It is a high-resolution, large-format print produced with an inkjet printer using special different-coloured dye- or pigment-based inks (usually six to twelve). The inks are lightfast, meaning they are resistant to harmful UV light. They provide a high level of nuance, contrast, and saturation.
The Giclée process is suitable for art canvases, handmade paper and watercolour paper as well as silk.
