About Gerti Landwehr
Under the title "THE ART OF FACES," Gerti Landwehr creates portraits of fictional personalities. Powerful, expressive, and intense, they look deeply into your eyes, captivating and enchanting. An intense eye contact between the artwork and the viewer is created. This is exactly the artist's goal. In a time of complete sensory overload and superficial consumption of information, where content and personal connections are losing importance, the artist wants to "hold" the viewer with her works, giving them a moment of inner calm, a dialogue without words - the message of a moment.
"My works should not only capture emotions but also evoke them."
With powerful colour combinations and her distinctive brushstrokes full of strength, dynamism, and lightness, her faces become "alive." Through alternating glazing and opaque colour applications, contours, surfaces, and spontaneous accents, exciting, multi-layered moods emerge, inspiring a closer look. Her works touch, enchant, and captivate. They create valuable moments filled with reflection, emotion, and positive feelings.
Gerti Landwehr, born near Würzburg, Germany, has accompanied her love for painting since childhood. After many years as an art director in creative agencies, she has been living and working as a freelance artist in Austria since 2013. Numerous art fairs in Germany and abroad have made the artist known. Her works can also be seen in various galleries.
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.
