About Sigurd Wendland
Sigurd Wendland's paintings thrive because of their liveliness and radiate powerful presence. With his expressive and colour-intensive imagery, the German painter and graphic artist interprets many classical genres of painting in his very own way. Portraits, nudes and social scenes are as much a part of his portfolio as landscapes and animal paintings. Through his art, he often expresses himself in a socially critical and provocative manner but he is also a master of quiet and sensitive tones.
Wendland, born in 1949, studied at the Cologne Academy of Fine and Applied Arts and the Berlin University of the Arts and was a master-class student of Fred Thieler. Since the early 1980s, he has exhibited his works in museums and galleries throughout Europe. At the same time, he organises events for plein-air painting and curates exhibitions. Sigurd Wendland lives and works in Berlin and Templin-Groß Dölln in Brandenburg.
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.
