About Jochen Schambeck
Jochen Schambeck studied at the State Academy of Fine Arts Karlsruhe under Horst Antes and the State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart under Sotirios Michou. Additionally, he held a teaching position at the Caspar David Friedrich Institute for Art Sciences at the University of Greifswald.
His works resemble explosive fireworks of colour. He applies thick layers of oil paint with his typical expressive style, creating almost three-dimensional shapes on canvas. He allows the colours to melt, squeezes them directly from the tube onto the painting surface or piles them up, developing an enchanting surface texture.
Many of his works can be found in private collections in German-speaking countries. Jochen Schambeck lives and works in Karlsruhe, Germany.
Term for paintings and sculptures that are detached from the representational depiction, which spread throughout the entire western 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 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.
