About Lars Teichmann
Lars Teichmann's works forge a connection between traditional painting and expressive contemporary art. He often draws inspiration from historical sources, including Baroque and Classical still lifes and portraits, as well as historical photographs, costume books, and Japanese woodcuts. However, these originals undergo an intense transformation: Teichmann alters them with streaks, drippings, and monochrome surfaces, reducing the motifs to their barest remnants. Most of the original details are deliberately obliterated in the process. His treatment of portraits is particularly striking, as he obscures faces with large blobs of white paint, reducing the traditional genre to absurdity. While portraits conventionally celebrate the individuality and positive traits of their subjects, Teichmann strips them of their identity, transforming them into anonymous figures.
What might initially appear spontaneous and radical is underpinned by a deliberate conceptual framework. Teichmann not only elevates his motifs to a new artistic plane by omitting or distorting elements traditionally deemed essential, but he also challenges ingrained viewing habits. His paintings often evoke a sense of familiarity, yet the extensive distortion renders them resistant to clear categorization, provoking viewers to question their perceptions and assumptions.
Born in 1980, Lars Teichmann began exhibiting his work in 2004. He studied fine art under Professor Daniel Richter at the Berlin University of the Arts and completed his studies as a master student of Professor Valérie Favre. Teichmann's work has been showcased across Europe in museums, galleries, art fairs, and biennials, including the Venice Biennale in 2011. His art has earned numerous awards and is included in many public collections. Lars Teichmann lives and works in Berlin.

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.
