About Manfred Binzer
The works of the artist Manfred Binzer, who lives in Mannheim, Germany (born in 1961), deal with the search for boundaries and the longing for freedom and infinity. They are compositions that never stand still; individual elements are connected, react to each other, and are in constant exchange with each other. There is always something new, something unknown, which is communicated to the viewer.
Through his deliberate use of colour and the deployment of subtle to strikingly bold, as well as transparent and opaque colour fields, Binzer's works have the quality of generating space. This "spatial character" occurs through the transparency and the apparent "weightlessness" of the compositions. A kind of "window" forms within the rooms, which is a constantly changing stage that faces into a picture space of its own.
Manfred Binzer's works can be found in art halls, and private and public collections and have already been shown in numerous exhibitions and galleries.
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.
