About Nikolaos Schizas
The Greek artist Nikolaos Schizas creates abstract works full of dynamics. In the original sense of the surrealists or Japanese Zen calligraphy, the pictures emerge from the subconscious and are based on the emotionality of the moment of their creation. The results are strongly flowing, colourful picture spots that fix the gestural moment on canvas.
Schizas uses acrylic, spray paint and resin for his painting; he paints, drips, and pours the paint onto the canvas and then works on it with brushes, palette knives and other tools.
With his painting, Nikolaos Schizas occupies a niche between Abstract Expressionism, Surrealism and Informalism; the distinct colourfulness reflects influences of Pop Art.
The artist lives and works in Barcelona.
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.
