About Michael Becker
Michael Becker's symbioses of nature and femininity.
"Art with pleasure" - this is the motto that Bremen artist Michael Becker has chosen for his work. The graphic artist, illustrator, painter and sculptor creates fantastically surrealistic and figurative symbioses of humans and nature - combined with erotic allusions, irony and humour.
"My art should be fun and aesthetic," he says. "It is not representation, but new creation - making visible what lies behind things. Reality only becomes exciting when one looks at it with imagination."
Becker, born in 1951, initially worked for many years as a graphic designer and began his exhibition activity as an artist in 1994. Becker's imagery is also fantastical in the third dimension and strives for perfected aesthetics. It aims to express beauty in the classical sense. In doing so, his motifs repeatedly bring together the themes of human beings and nature, mostly in depictions of erotic female figures that do not compete with the beauty of nature, but are deeply symbiotically connected to it.
"For me, nature has the essence of a woman, inspiring, fascinating, impressive and full of transformations."
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.
