Picture "Untitled XII" (2018)
The works of duckpool alias Karsten Rische are created from a combination of different techniques, such as painting with acrylic and a variety of ways of applying colour pigments.
After the Walt Disney Company Germany became aware of duckpool's works and techniques, he created numerous commissioned works for Disney, as well as Disneyland Paris, in which mainly the historical Disney characters such as Donald, Mickey and Minnie are integrated within the above-mentioned techniques.
It is always astonishing to see the consistently positive effect that these characters have on the viewer in their large format on canvas - genuine sympathetic figures that have accompanied us since our earliest youth.

About duckpool
The works of duckpool (born in 1960) alias Karsten Rische are created from a combination of different techniques such as acrylic painting and different ways of applying colour pigments. After studying photography in Dortmund, Germany and becoming artistically involved with the photographic depiction of structures and surfaces, he has been creating, since 2000, large-format canvas works which are inspired by the graffiti scene of the 1970s and 1980s in the Ruhr region.
Due to the intensive contact to the international comic drawing scene, the German Walt Disney Company became aware of duckpool's works and techniques. The result: Numerous commissioned works by Disney, but also Disneyland Paris, in which mainly the historical Disney characters such as Donald, Mickey and Minnie are illustrated in the above-mentioned techniques.
It is always astonishing to see the positive effect that these figures have on the viewer in their large format on canvas - real sympathetic figures who have accompanied us since our youth.
Duckpool was born in Dortmund and now lives and works near Aachen.
Graphic artwork in the making of which the artist combines at least two graphic techniques.
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.
