About Winnie Seifert
Winnie Seifert (born in 1987)
The Berlin-born painter Winnie Seifert works beyond the mainstream. She expresses herself unflinchingly in a brilliant pictorial language that probably best be classified as Art Informel. The artist persistently works on painterly-informal subjects.
She usually connects and disintegrates polychrome forms, surfaces and structures to form cheerful-looking shapes and organisms on large-format canvases with light backgrounds. Seifert's gestural way of working does not drift into a meaningful, physical self-flagellation that is inherent in many abstract expressionistic works of art history. Her paintings rather reveal joy in the painterly exploration of colour.
In 2018, an exhibition at the Städtische Galerie Dresden was dedicated to the graduate of the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts.
Term for paintings and sculptures that are detached from representational depiction, which spread across the entire western world and parts of the eastern world from around 1910 onwards in ever new stylistic variations. The Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky, born in 1866, is considered the founder of abstract art. Other important artists of abstract art are K.S. Malewitsch, Piet Mondrian, and others.
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.
