About the Artist Ruprecht von Kaufmann

Ruprecht von Kaufmann (b. 1974 in Munich) paints mainly in oil on linoleum — a material into which he simultaneously cuts with a lino knife. His pictures show figures, interiors and landscapes in often surreally charged, narrative settings. Von Kaufmann studied illustration at the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles and lived for several years in Los Angeles and New York before settling in Berlin in 2003. He gained international recognition for his figurative work; pieces by him are held in the collection of the German Bundestag, as well as in numerous international private collections.
