Kneffel, Karin
Untitled (Flowers). 2006. Colour aquatint on vellum. 43.3 x 64.5 cm (62 x 82 cm). Signed, dated and numbered. - The corners are slightly and barely noticeably bumped. Overall in very good condition. A magnificent, bold print with exceptionally intense colours and painterly qualities, featuring a margin and a creator’s mark at the bottom
One of 90 copies. - Published by Galerie manus presse (with dry stamp). - In this work, Kneffel exemplifies her interest in the construction of perception and pictorial reality. Through the use of the aquatint technique, she achieves a dense gradation of tones that reinforces the illusionistic character of the depiction. The cropping is chosen in such a way that the floral motifs lose their traditional symbolism in favour of a formal and optical exploration. In doing so, Kneffel reflects on the relationship between surface and depth, between visibility and reflection – central themes in her oeuvre that transpose the classical still life into the context of contemporary visual reflection.

Splendid, exceptionally colour-rich and picturesque impression with margins, featuring the deckle edge at the bottom. – One of 90 copies. – Published by Galerie manus presse (with dry stamp). - Exemplary: Kneffel demonstrates her interest in perception and the reality of the image. By using the aquatint technique, she achieves a dense tonal gradation that intensifies the illusionistic character of the representation. The detail is carefully selected to ensure that the floral motifs lose their traditional symbolism in favour of a formal and visual examination. Kneffel thus reflects on the relationship between surface and depth, visibility and reflection – central elements of her oeuvre – which transpose the classical still life into the context of contemporary visual reflection.
