About Peter Wolframm
When well-known characters from the world of comics and pop culture meet, you encounter the "Rock Art" by Peter Wolframm.
The artist from Viersen in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, is one of the most important representatives of contemporary German Pop Art. In the best tradition of this epoch, he arranges elements from (art) history, pop culture, advertising, comics and industrial design into colourful collage-like pictures. His portfolio also includes portraits of prominent personalities, such as the Scorpions, former German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, and Jean-Michel Jarre.
Wolframm works with a mixed media technique using acrylic and spray paints as well as hand screen printing. He uses canvas and wood as carrier media but also hand-brushed metal plates.
Born in Poland in 1968, Wolframm has been living in Germany since 1985. Trained as a graphic designer and advertising technician, he has been working as a freelance artist since 1999 and regularly exhibits his work nationwide in Germany.
Graphic artwork in the making of which the artist combines at least two graphic techniques.
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.
