In Krähmer's pictures, it is not the landscape itself that is essential, but the atmosphere it conveys. It is about the silence, the almost meditative devotion that his works exude. He creates his works using the resin oil glaze technique. This creates paintings that appear almost photorealistic.

About Michael Krähmer
Michael Krähmer's landscapes look like real places, and that is due to the enormous effort the artist puts into his craftsmanship. Krähmer (born in 1952) has learned the painting technique of the Old Masters and creates his mostly large-format works using the time-consuming resin oil glaze technique, in which the paint is applied in many wafer-thin layers on top of each other. Weeks of work produce pictures that appear almost photorealistic and are striking for their almost three-dimensional depth.
But they captivate the viewer above all through their atmospheric density. This is what the artist is all about: it is not the landscape per se but the atmosphere it conveys that is essential. And so the question of "reality" is not important to him; it is only the silence, the almost meditative devotion, that his works exude.
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.
