About Jochen Plogsties
The painter Jochen Plogsties studied under Friedemann Hahn at the Mainz Art Academy and under Arno Rink, a mentor of the New Leipzig School, at the Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig, Germany. He completed his studies there in 2008 as a master-class student of Neo Rauch.
The artist paints icons of art history, thereby challenging the viewer's visual habits. Through his approach to motifs and the associated questions of relevance, he delves into the realm of colour, creating a pure painting that can be experienced through the senses. The familiar encounters us anew, refreshes our perspective and asserts the necessity of an open perception.
Plogstie's works have been featured in major solo exhibitions at the Kestner Gesellschaft in Hanover (2014), the G2 Kunsthalle in Leipzig (2019, with Claudia Wieser) and the MEWO Kunsthalle in Memmingen (2021).
In 2009, he participated in the International Studio & Curatorial Program in New York City through a scholarship from the Cultural Foundation of the Free State of Saxony. In 2011, he received the renowned art prize of the Leipzig Volkszeitung.
The artist lives and works in Leipzig, with his studio located on the premises of the world-famous former cotton mill.
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.
