About Ruri Matsumoto
Ruri Matsumoto wurde 1981 in Tokio geboren.
Sie studierte an der Tokyo University of the Arts sowie an der Kunstakademie Düsseldorf bei Markus Lüpertz und Herbert Brandl und ist Meisterschülerin der renommierten Künstlerin Katharina Grosse.
Zuletzt erhielt Matsumoto den Förderpreis der Schweizer Fondazione Silene Giannini mit Sitz in Lugano.
Die Künstlerin arbeitet stets nach einem strengen Konzept der Reduktion und einer scheinbaren Dekonstruktion. Sie bemalt die Bildgründe mit horizontalen oder vertikalen Farbbahnen und versieht diese anschließend mit Klebebändern, die dann wiederum abgetragen werden – hierbei hinterlassen sie Spuren, Nasen, Brüche und Fragmente.
Werke der Malerin befinden sich in der Sammlung des Rijksmuseums in Amsterdam sowie des Marta Herford. Ruri Matsumoto lebt und arbeitet in Düsseldorf.
Term for paintings and sculptures that are detached from the representational depiction, which spread throughout the entire western and parts of the eastern world from around 1910 onwards in ever new stylistic variations. The Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky, born in 1866, is considered the founder of abstract art. Other important artists of abstract art are K.S. Malewitsch, Piet Mondrian, and others.
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.
