Lot 351 Karin Kneffel. o.T. (Blumen). 2006. …

o.T. (Blumen). 2006. Farbaquatinta auf Velin. 43,3 x 64,5 cm (62 x 82 cm). Signiert, datiert und nummeriert. - Die Ecken minimal und kaum merklich bestoßen. Insgesamt sehr gut. Prachtvoller, kräftiger und ausgesprochen farbintensiver sowie malerische Werte umsetzender Druck mit Rand, unten mit dem Schöpfrand

Zeitgenössische Kunst – Eines von 90 Exemplaren. - Hg. Galerie manus presse (mit Trockenstempel). - Exemplarisch demonstriert Kneffel ihr Interesse an der Konstruktion von Wahrnehmung und Bildrealität. Durch den Einsatz der Aquatinta-Technik erreicht sie eine dichte Tonwertabstufung, die den illusionistischen Charakter der Darstellung verstärkt. Der Ausschnitt ist so gewählt, dass die floralen Motive ihre traditionelle Symbolik zugunsten einer formalen und optischen Untersuchung verlieren. Kneffel reflektiert damit das Verhältnis von Oberfläche und Tiefe, von Sichtbarkeit und Spiegelung, zentrale Themen ihres Oeuvres, die das klassische Stillleben in den Kontext zeitgenössischer Bildreflexion überführen

Contemporary Art – Colour aquatint on wove paper. Signed, dated and numbered. - Corners minimally and barely noticeably bumped. Overall very good. Splendid, exceptionally colour-rich and picturesque impression with margins, with the deckle edge at the bottom. - One of 90 copies. - Published by Galerie manus presse (with dry stamp). - Exemplary, Kneffel demonstrates her interest in the perception and image reality. By using the aquatint technique, she achieves a dense tonal gradation that intensifies the illusionistic character of the representation. The detail is carefully selected to ensure that the floral motifs lose their traditional symbolism in favour of a formal and visual examination. Kneffel thus reflects on the relationship between surface and depth, visibility and reflection, central elements of her oeuvre, which transfer the classical still life into the context of contemporary visual reflection.
