Mixed media
152,4 x 121,9 cm
Technique: Acrylic and ink on canvas
A painter, cartoonist, and sculptor, Friedrich Kunath gets his energy and inspiration from the flow of the modern world. His artworks include citations, collages, recycling, and references to multi-faceted, eclectic, and diverse sources of inspiration. Steeped in the classical tradition, his work is uncategorisable: it straddles hyper-realism and surrealistic humour. The artist cuts across borders, eras, and major currents of art history and pop culture which he experiences on a daily basis in Los Angeles, where he lives and works.
