About Ruth Bussmann
"After taking my own photos of people I observe on streets and squares, I start working on the picture. Mostly, I paint views of people from behind, as they walk or stand. There is no indication of where they come from or where they are going. The surrounding space consists only of areas of colour. Formally, I am interested in the communication of colours and the composition of figures and space. I am interested in reduction and abstraction. The colour space is pure emotionality and can offer the viewer a surface for projection." (Ruth Bussmann)
Born in 1962 in Kirchhellen (Westphalia), Germany, Ruth Bussmann trained as a graphic designer and worked as a freelancer until 1992. From 1992-1994, she studied Fine Arts/Painting at the Kunstakademie Münster under Prof. Jochen Zellmann, and from 1994 at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf under Prof. Beate Schiff, becoming her master student in 1996 and receiving her diploma from the academy in 1997.
In 1998, she was nominated for the 9th European Festival Arte Viva, Italy, and in 2001, she was awarded the Art Prize of the Sparkasse Bayreuth.
Her works are exhibited at national and international art fairs, in art associations and museums, and are included in public and private collections. Since 2012, Ruth Bussmann has been living and working in Bad Wildungen
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.
