"Jennifer (Akt am Tisch sitzend)" Spraypaint, Acrylic, Yarn, Soil & Marker on Canvas 101 x 76 x 2 cm 2019 This work was inspired by Gerhard Richters Portraits of his former wife, which he was painting in the 60ies. I followed his idea of the "camera obscura", took a picture of my pregnant wife, edited it with photoshop and started to paint it pixel by pixel in four layers of paint. I like the idea of having a process in mind. That stickiness to the process makes me explore the surrounding, make it visible and breathable. I often thought about C.E. Shannons "..mathematical theory of communication" at that time, and found out for me: If you don't expect new input, because the process is clear, you start to observe and perceive the environment much more intense. The moment obtains a new Quality: Feeling, Existing, Living.

Germany
Arthur Kunz is a trained computer scientist and cosmopolitan. Born in 1978 in the former USSR, he grew up in Bietigheim and later lived in Vienna and Berlin. So his identity is made up of various elements and cultures. The same can be said about his pictures. He describes himself as a bag man who collects literature, screenshots, computer games and his own personal history from the city's refuse bins. All of these elements are juxtaposed in paintings, drawings and books. Filled with strong signs, the works appear at first glance like drawings by a teenager, in which there is also a lot of irony and distance. But under the apparently childish surface there is something hectic and irresponsible, something lustful and erotic. Arthur Kunz paints in a way that only feigns sloppiness, because the pictures are “realistic and carefully executed.” In his composition he moves the attention of the spectator to the edges of the picture thereby challenging the traditional centre of a painting. As a real painter, he deals extensively with questions of color and composition, develops the pictures over a long period of time often in only small steps and likes to create multi-serially. Arthur Kunz lives and works in Langen, Germany.
