Beautiful etching by Gideon Kiefer Signed and numbered (pencil) by hand by the artist Limited edition on only 10 copies. This is number 2. This etching has been touched up by hand by the artist (fluo/marker/ballpoint pen) making this a unique work. In perfect state. Throughout his oeuvre, Gideon Kiefer (°1970, Neerpelt) investigates the porous fragility of memory. In addition, his work often contains a subtle social critique, in which contemporary ecological, social or political issues are not shunned. His grandfather's art books, or rather the memory of rummaging through these books as a child, is the starting point for Kiefer's paintings on wood. The artist selects details that intrigue him, reinterprets them, and gives them new meaning and context – a process that recalls how our memory works. Handwritten text, additions in the form of collages, or small anecdotes in the margins reveal some of the personal content hidden in each work, just as they expose the artists' growing concerns about the current climate crisis.
