About Felix Rehfeld
Felix Rehfeld (born in 1981) studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich and was a master-class student of one of the most famous contemporary German artists, Karin Kneffel, whom he supported as an assistant after graduation.
Between 2017 and 2018, the artist made the comprehensive series of works "1000 mountains". These are 1000 small-format paintings, a selection of which we may offer you at ARTES. The series is a painterly discourse on the representability of moods, light conditions and the poetic beauty of mountain landscapes, without providing a purely naturalistic rendering of nature.
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.
