About Sandra Rauch
New York, Hong Kong, Berlin: Sandra Rauch's paintings are homages to the great metropolises of the world. In her works, she presents unusual and fascinating perspectives on well-known cities with millions of inhabitants. Her works on acrylic glass depict both real views of the big cities and collages in which she densely arranges the distinctive squares and objects of a city.
Rauch has personally visited all the places she depicts in her works. During her travels, she captures her impressions with a camera and later works on the collected impressions in her studio. She uses various techniques such as painting, screen printing and digital image editing.
Sandra Rauch, born in 1967, completed her studies in painting and graphic arts with a diploma and was a master's student of Prof. Ralf Kerbach at the HFBK Dresden. Since 2008, she has been living and working as a freelance artist in Berlin and shows her work at exhibitions all over the world.
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.
