About Dan Bina
Dan Bina wurde 1984 in Illinois, USA geboren.
Er studierte am Kansas City Art Institute und schloss 2006 seine künstlerische Ausbildung ab.
Mit dem Werkzyklus "En plein air" untersucht Bina die unterschiedlichsten Lichtstimmungen in Landschaften, an Stränden, in Häfen und dem Meer. In der Tradition des Impressionismus entstehen die zumeist in Aquarell auf Papier ausgeführten Arbeiten stets unter freiem Himmel.
Heute lebt und arbeitet Dan Bina in Brooklyn, New York.
Depiction of typical scenes from daily life in painting, whereby a distinction can be made between peasant, bourgeois and courtly genres.
The genre reached its peak and immense popularity in Dutch paintings of the 17th century. In the 18th century, especially in France, the courtly-galant painting became prominent while in Germany the bourgeois character was emphasised.
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.
