About Lothar Guderian
The work of the German artist Lothar Guderian (born in 1939) focuses on cardboard and the exploration of three-dimensionality. He combines the handmade cut-outs to form a complex pattern, which, turns into a filigree 3D collage through layering.
Guderian's monochrome painting impresses with a graphically light form of expression. The quality is comparable to the reliefs of Jan Schoonhoven or the embossed prints of Günther Uecker. Sometimes horizontal and vertical, sometimes diagonal, interwoven in a deliberately laid out and ethereal order – the artist's variations are endless. But his search for a clear form, for harmony and aesthetics, takes the first rank. Guderian works are a real discovery!
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.
