About TED
The artist TED, born in Munich in 1985, first attended Cambridge Art and Science College and Gordonstoun School in Scotland, where he focussed on art and design. He then went on to study both subjects at London Metropolitan University.
"I do pop art and splash art paintings that are colourful and full of energy". There is no better way to describe TED's work than in the artist's own words. First, there are works on large canvases, which become vivid, abstract colour explosions through the deliberate spraying and splashing of acrylic paint - quite literally, as TED loves to burst colour-filled balloons on the canvas. Then, there are the works in which the artist pays homage to American popular culture and comics. Both categories of work are characterised by an impressive joy of colour and vitality.
A one-of-a-kind or unique piece is a work of art personally created by the artist. It exists only once due to the type of production (oil painting, watercolour, drawing, lost-wax sculpture etc.).
In addition to the classic unique pieces, there are also 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 genre 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.
The historical starting point is considered to be Claude Monet's "Les Meules" (1890/1891), where, 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.
