About Kat Rücker-Weininger
"I look at the world and the animals and want to paint them. As they are? No, the way I see them."
Kat Rücker-Weininger was born in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. After a turbulent childhood and youth in an artist household with many animals, she studied graphic design in Munich following her apprenticeship as a handicraft bookbinder and a one-year internship with a designer bookbinder in London.
In addition to her work as an art director and illustrator for advertising agencies and publishers, she writes short stories and children's books and works as a portrait painter. Her paintings and illustrations have been featured in galleries, museums and other exhibitions all over Europe, e.g. in the Haus der Kunst and the German hunting and fishing museum in Munich, in the Marbach horse museum, in the Swiss horse museum in La Sarraz, at the IO stand at the Children's Bookfair in Bologna and the Glaspalast (former State Gallery of Modern Art) in Augsburg.
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.
