About the Item
"Golf Malheur" is an original mixed media artwork by Volker Kuhn. The work is hand-signed by the artist below the artwork on the mat. It is a witty reference formed as a hand-made assemblage carved out and painted with painstaking accuracy yet with a lightness of touch by the artist. 65 x 63 cm framed in a silvery wood-framing with simple hanging mechanism on back. Stamp certified on back.
A sedulous paraphernalia collector and witty story-teller from the bottom of his heart, German artist Volker Kuhn has devoted himself to the creation of three-dimensional freeze-frames featuring small "findings" and miniature figures for more than three decades now. Mixed media assemblages altogether, his small-sized object scenes are both matted and framed as pictures and arranged in boxes like miniature stage sets or tableaux. Made with ultimate manual skill and masterly precision, his mostly surrealist and metaphorical cabinets are also unique in their humor and imaginativeness. These "miniature worlds" being put on stage like this, the underlying idea of Volker Kuhn's work-cycle turns out to be the viewer's amazement, while simultaneously showcasing the essence of human curiosity itself.
The artist's works bring into focus a close-up view of the microcosm from within the frame. the audience's view through the magnifying glass is rewarding: Their attention is drawn to the "small things" which seem to grow to huge space-filling dimensions within within the boundaries of the r containers. Volker Kuhn juxtaposes miniature images and abstractions of reality in surprising compositions, always aiming at the viewer's recognition of a common interpersonal situation, line of thought or feeling. Thus exploited to their utmost potential, the showcase scenes always cut right to the chase, they mostly hit the mark, and sometimes they may strike a nerve.
But more than this: They're fun. Both that is for you to find out...

Volker Kuhn
German artist Volker Kuhn was born in 1948 and studied Sculpture at the Bremen Academy of Arts, where he was honoured with the Young Advancement Award, given by the Bremen Senate.
He is well known for his series of ‘Art in Boxes’ three-dimensional wall pieces populated by small "findings", miniature figures and animals. His sculptures are informed by ‘object art’ and the work of assemblage artist Joseph Cornwell. References to Dada, Surrealist and Pop Art can also be identified within his vibrant and humorous wall sculptures. His assemblages are framed as pictures and arranged in boxes like tiny stage sets or tableaux. Kuhn's works are unique, skilfully crafted and imaginative.
