Picture "Glacial Lake" (2012), on stretcher frame
In Krähmer's pictures, the essential element is not the landscape but rather 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.
Original: Oil on canvas in a complex resin oil glaze technique.
Giclée print on canvas. Limited edition of 199 copies, numbered on the back and signed by the artist. Mounted on a stretcher frame. Size 130 x 85 cm.

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.
Giclée = derived from the French verb gicler "to squirt, to spray".
The Giclée method is a digital printing process. It is a high-resolution, large-format print produced with an inkjet printer using special different-coloured dye- or pigment-based inks (usually six to twelve). The inks are lightfast, meaning they are resistant to harmful UV light. They provide a high level of nuance, contrast, and saturation.
The Giclée process is suitable for art canvases, handmade paper and watercolour paper as well as silk.
