About Marion Eichmann
A telephone, a broom, books, a street scene or a view from the window - Marion Eichmann finds the inspiration for her objects, drawings, installations and collages in her everyday surroundings. During the process of the production of her works, she reduces her motifs down almost to the contours similar to a sketch, but the important details always remain recognisable.
Whatever the artist discovers, she first captures it with a pencil. Then she fleshes out the lines with a pen. In Eichmann's works, colour is not applied with a brush but rather through fine Canson Fine Art paper. Often in several layers, the paper is cut out and glued on. This creates colour and a relief. Fascinating object boxes are thus produced, inviting the viewer to take a closer look and discover the work of art.
Eichmann, born in Essen, Germany, in 1974, studied as a master student textile and surface design at the Kunsthochschule Berlin Weißensee. For her diploma thesis, she used wool to knit a complete room with interior into a sprawling black and beige wavy pattern - with exactly 16,324,800 stitches.
She has been awarded several prizes, has exhibited her work in numerous national and international exhibitions and has regular teaching positions.
An artwork in which the artist designs the motive using various materials such as pieces of paper, wallpapers, fabric scraps, wire gauze etc. This gives the work an extension into the third dimension.
Graphic artwork in the making of which the artist combines at least two graphic production techniques.
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.
