About Bernd Zimmer
Bernd Zimmer (born in 1948 in Planegg near Munich, Germany) transports us into a new reality with his paintings, which he creates using broad brushstrokes and strong colours that flow into one another. Zimmer finds his inspiration in nature, the cosmos or biblical content, yet in the painting process, he has no specific models like photographs or such. "All my paintings are invented situations. They are experiences that express themselves in painting."
Zimmer founded the "Junge Wilden" at the end of the 1970s with his colleagues Rainer Fetting and Helmut Middendorf. Today he is one of the most important contemporary German artists, and his work is successful worldwide.
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.
