About Kai Quedens
Kai Quedens' paintings feel like a short holiday. As a native North Frisian, he devotes himself mainly to the coastal landscape and paints atmospheric impressions of the sea, the beach and the vast horizon. Quedens, born in 1965, combines a strong expression with a calm mood in his works.
The painter who lives on the island of Amrum prefers to work with egg tempera on canvas - a centuries-old painting technique in which the colours appear particularly natural and strong. Therefore, his painting technique is also entirely geared towards emphasising the luminosity of the colours. In order to give the colours as much space as possible, Quedens does not paint his landscapes realistically. Instead, he composes them out of a few details, applying the paint in a two-dimensional way. The motifs, however, always remain recognisable and allow the viewer to imagine an almost real-life experience at the seaside.
Kai Quedens' works have been exhibited in museums and are represented in important collections.
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.
