About Stephan Geisler
Stephan Geisler lives and works in Bochum, Germany. He studied graphic design, visual communication, and illustration at Münster University of Applied Sciences under Professor Rolf Escher. The artist's oeuvre combines various working methods and techniques of acrylic, collage, and oil pastels on canvas.
The main subject of the depictions are solitary figures; they always seem to be looking at the viewer with a cool gaze. However, the canvases are not only visual odes to animals, but at the same time, discourses on painting and the artistic use of colour and form.
"During the painting process, you are extremely connected with yourself, your ideas, thoughts and visions. I have found the best moments I have ever had in painting," the artist describes.
Graphic artwork in the making of which the artist combines at least two graphic techniques.
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.
