About YESS
Lutz Stein (born in 1978) was already famous in his hometown of Halle (Saale), Germany, with his works in urban space, when he began to perfect his art on canvas with the alias "Yess" in 2009. The principal motifs of his painting are letters and character stubs of the present, which Yess gives a life of their own in his paintings. The artist stages, stylistically close to Pop Art, the symbols of our culture and our everyday life in colourful paintings with playfulness and senses of humour. Each of his works is created with infinite precision. Due to the unbelievable density of motifs, Stein's works become small explosions of colour in which the viewer can always discover new details.
Yess lives and works in Albstadt near Stuttgart, Germany. Since 2013, he has regularly participated in group and solo exhibitions in Germany.
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.
