Claus Brunsmann

Summer of Love
2009, From Police Series, Liquitex on paper (framed), 70 × 100 cm

Summer of Love is part of his Police Series (2009–2015), originally planned to be a group of paintings centered around the motif of social justice, order, death wish, and impressionism.

Claus Brunsmann's work oscillates between figurative and abstract art and covers a broad range of form and content. The paintings are characterized by a multi-layered penetration of the medium and its tradition and are deeply rooted in the history of art. At the same time, they open up traditional imagery to unfamiliar interpretations and ways of seeing modern media. Claus Brunsmann's works testify to the power of a painting, which aesthetically manufactures, or even invents, the reality in the image.
