Ruprecht von Kaufmann. You never know, 2019 (artist’s portfolio).


Oil on linoleum on wood: 122.5 x 153 cm. Ruprecht von Kaufmann (2021): “Composition is probably the key. I am obsessed with compositions, they are the backbone of every painting and offer so many possibilities to influence the emotional expression of a painting. It’s possible to counter very extreme imagery with a very orderly composition or vice versa. I am always envious of film-directors, because they have a timeline, music and sound available to them. So to me it’s important to introduce a sense of a before or after into the painting. A strong sense that something must have led up to the depicted moment and that something will happen afterwards”.
