"Michael Kunze is an exceptional phenomenon in the German art scene. His paintings are full of literary, philosophical, art- and architecture-historical reflections, which he transforms into enigmatic, seemingly irrational scenarios, architectural constructs or utopian landscapes. Connections and possible meanings remain veiled, confrontations of different pictorial elements sometimes seem absurd and invite us into an intensive dialog." (Gregor Jansen, www.hans-platschek-stiftung.de)

In very good condition. The condition report was compiled in daylight with the help of an ultraviolet light and to the best of knowledge.
