About Stefan Szczesny
Born in 1951, German artist, internationally known
The artistic work of Stefan Szczesny, born in 1951 in Munich, has left its mark on contemporary art. A scholarship in Paris, several stays in New York and at the Villa Massimo in Rome, in the South of France and the Caribbean, had a lasting influence on his work.
Szczesny was significantly involved in the movement of the "Junge Wilden" (Young Wild Ones), who rediscovered expressive, figurative painting for themselves towards the end of the 1970s. In the meantime, he developed an unmistakable style conveying lightness and cheerfulness.
Inspired by artists such as Matisse and Picasso, Szczesny concentrates his paintings on classical themes such as the nude and still life. In doing so, the artist reflects on sensual, colourful representationalism. In his paintings, nature and culture merge in their most extreme form.
Szczesny's works have been shown worldwide in numerous museums, solo and group exhibitions. A particular highlight was the retrospective "Métamorphoses méditerranéennes" at the Papal Palace Avignon in 2014, with more than 250 exhibits. Stefan Szczesny is one of the most important contemporary artists in Europe today.
Term for an art object (sculpture, installation) that, according to the artist’s intention, is produced in multiple copies within a limited and numbered edition.
Multiples enable the "democratization" of art by making the work accessible and affordable for a wider audience.
A plastic work of sculptural art made of wood, stone, ivory, bronze or other metals.
While sculptures made of wood, ivory, or stone are carved directly from the material block, in bronze casting, a working model is prepared at first. Usually, it is made of clay or other easily mouldable materials.
The prime time of sculpture after the Greek and Roman antiquity was the Renaissance. Impressionism gave a new impulse to the sculptural arts. Contemporary artists such as Jorg Immendorf, Andora, and Markus Lupertz also enriched sculptures with outstanding works.
