About MINO
MINO, born Stefan M. Bächler (*1967 in Lucerne), is an artist with many talents. His work includes oil painting, but also paper cutting and performance. In 1998, his silhouette art even made it into the Guinness Book of Records.
Since 2009, MINO has published numerous children's books as an author and illustrator. MINO had his first solo exhibition in 1992 and has since shown his works throughout Europe, including at the Hans Erni Museum and the Museum des Pays-d'Enhaut.
MINO gives his paintings a very unusual character through the pronounced dark contours, which are reminiscent of the woodcut technique. The artist pays particular attention to the choice of hues: each color, according to the painter, is a brushstroke of his soul and an expression of his feelings and moods.
The artist lives and works in Zurich and on Lake Maggiore.
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.
