Paul Kuntze Available Works

In his series "Modern Frescoes" Paul Kuntze combines two styles from different artistic eras. Drawing from abstract expressionism, he attempts to depict monumental scenes of the heavens and gods, evoking memories of classical ceiling frescoes from the Baroque period. Rather than fully rendering the scene, he hints at figures and faces, encouraging viewers to engage their own creativity. Kuntze strives for precision and aesthetic quality in every brushstroke. His paintings consist of many layers, beginning with a background gradient created with acrylic sprays. Thin layers of clouds follow, and finally, individual figures and clouds are rendered in thickly applied paint to achieve the best possible contrast.
