About the Item

Collage and acrylic on wood panel Signed and dated on reverse Size with frame 115 x 65 cm This work includes a certificate of authenticity. Framed (matte black wooden frame, UV anti-reflective glass) Stefan Gunnesch (b. 1981) is a collage artist who lives and works in Leipzig, Germany. The human body, its abstraction, and its separate entities are expressed in Gunnesch’s work. His collages show an interplay of different materials, shapes, and colours. Gunnesch’s main inspiration emerges from the vanitas genre, a symbolic genre of art showing the transience of life, the futility of pleasure, and the certainty of death. Change, blossoming, and withering are the starting point for his visual research. The collage technique demands that initially, something has to be fragmented and destroyed before something new can emerge. In this sense, the method of cutting is directly related to the theme of vanitas. During creation, the subject decays and changes constantly; and something beautiful can become morbid or even ugly yet fascinating through its own aesthetic. With his works, Stefan Gunnesch tries to connect to the audience’s feelings, memories, and associations. It is always about finding oneself, which stimulates the reflection and tracing of one’s own body and thereby identity. Stefan’s works are on view in international exhibitions and are also found in renowned museums and collections including the Ampersand Foundation (Johannesburg), the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), the Museum of Modern Art (New York), Toppan Printing Museum (Tokyo) and J. Paul Getty Museum (Los Angeles).
