About the Item

The painting shows a close embrace. In the background, you can see a destroyed house. Something has happened, something is broken, irretrievable. The couple supports each other in the shock of pain. In his work, Ralf Schmidt combines elements of illustration, graphic design, and painting to create a distinctive, stylized realism with Pop Art influences. Clear contours, striking colors, and isolated figures or objects characterize his style. Humorous, everyday scenes take on a deeper, often socially commentary meaning through composition and context. Since the 1990s, Schmidt has been developing his series "Freie Malereien" (Free Paintings) and "Freie Malereien II" (Free Paintings II), in which he depicts human emotions and behavior in a deliberately reduced yet ambiguous style.
