Detailed description
Picture "Ocean of Desire 9" (2019) (Original / Unique piece), on stretcher frame
One of the artist's main themes is seascapes. Constantly changing and transient, and always just snapshots. Nevertheless, the paintings are symbols of timelessness and imperishableness. They convey both calmness and movement.
Her series on the theme "Ocean of Desire - An Ocean Full of Wishes" shows nature in various dimensions. The artist only shows excerpts to give the viewer space to make personal additions. Due to the accentuated application of paint, the spraying white sea spray seems to escape from the picture. The horizontal lines of the sea surface refract against the verticals of the shoreline, drawing the viewer into the emerging dynamics of the picture.

About Susanne Pohlmann
There is flow, there is flight, there is flutter - there is movement in Susanne Pohlmann's large-format paintings, which simultaneously transmit balance and release to the viewer. With intense colours and an impasto application of paint, the artist shows us her unmistakable style: Susanne Pohlmann works on the surface, not in the line - this is what makes her work so remarkably interesting. Objects are reproduced, but not in their actual, naturalistic form, but as the artist perceives them - she shows the effect on her sensibility, namely expressive and moving.
Susanne Pohlmann seeks the elemental and unchanging behind changeable places and situations. Numerous journeys and encounters with other people and places have shown the painter how strongly nature and culture are interwoven and shaped by each other. The simultaneous localisation of dynamics and tranquillity in her pictures creates an underlying mood that is also transmitted to the viewer.
One of the artist's main themes is seascapes. They are constantly changing and transient and only ever snapshots. Yet they symbolise the timeless and imperishable and convey the simultaneity of calm and movement. In her series on the theme "Ocean of Desire - An Ocean Full of Wishes", the experience of nature is shown in its various dimensions. It is important for the artist to show only excerpts to give the viewer room for individual additions. Due to the accentuated application of paint, the spraying white spray seems to emerge from the picture. The horizontal lines of the sea surface break against the vertical lines of the shoreline, drawing the viewer into the emerging dynamics of the picture.
The freelance artist and trained educator Susanne Pohlmann lives in Berlin. After graduating in social work and social education, she went on to study fine arts at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Hanover, Germany. In addition to numerous solo and group exhibitions, in which she has presented her works since 2001, Pohlmann has led numerous painting and holiday courses for more than 30 years and offers painting trips for children, young people and adults in Germany and abroad.
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.
