About Kaikaoss
The painter Kaikaoss was born in Kabul in 1965, where he also received his first artistic training. He completed his art studies in Minsk, Belarus. This is also where his works were exhibited for the first time. Kaikaoss has lived and worked as a freelance artist in Germany since 1991. Since then, his works have been presented at numerous joint and solo exhibitions in Germany and Paris.
His style based on the surrealism of classical modernism. The influence of his idols Picasso and Magritte are obvious. He adopts their elements without, copying them. He creates independent masterpieces in a great tradition.
What distinguishes him from other artists is his profound technique and his pictorial intelligence. Kaikaoss's realistically painted pictures seem completely logical at first glance. But what at first seems "right" is doubted on closer inspection. In this way, the artist plays with our perceptual expectations in a sophisticated way.
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.
