Detailed description
Picture "Yacht Club-6" (2023) (Unique piece)
The painting offered here is from the "Yacht Club" series. Historically, the yacht is considered a sporty expression of luxurious, adventure-seeking world exploration and a collector's object.
In Lars Teichmann's paintings, the reduction of colour to warm greys and black creates a modern, monochrome plane, contrasted by selectively placed colours. A hint of maritime danger, wanderlust, and a dreamy longing for distant places are concealed within the work cycle.
Oil on canvas, 2023. Signed on the back. Unframed. Size stretched on stretcher frame 140 x 100 cm as shown.
About Lars Teichmann
The German painter Lars Teichmann combines historical painting and contemporary attitude for his large-format paintings. The starting points for his works are usually motifs from past epochs such as classicism or baroque.
He subjects the opulent depictions to a radical and expressive treatment process. Teichmann abstracts and narrows the figures down to their contours. He also deprives the pictures of their colour variety, adds streaks and blobs of colour and almost always covers the faces with white paint. In this way, he is able to open up completely new perspectives on existing works and entire subjects. He questions our traditional viewing habits.
Lars Teichmann learned the professional tools of the trade for his highly independent visual worlds during his studies of fine arts at the Berlin University of the Arts. Since 2004, his works have been regularly exhibited in German and European galleries and art houses.
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.
