½ûÂþÌìÌà Ruprecht von Kaufmann
Ruprecht von Kaufmann (b.1974, Munich, Germany) was educated at the Art Center College of Design, Los Angeles, CA. Von Kaufmann is one of the most important figurative painters in Germany today, as Dr. Brigitte Hausmann, curator for the Art Program of the City of Berlin writes in her essay. His forceful and emotional paintings are unsettling and purposefully so. Von Kaufmann puts great emphasis on storytelling, resulting in his figurative work being full of dark humor as well as dense melancholy. In his artworks he captures moments that are at once deeply personal while also hinting at a universal experience.
