Rather than recreating classical scenes, Kuntze draws from abstract expressionism to evoke the atmosphere, motion, and sense of grandeur associated with traditional baroque frescoes. His work has been featured in Haze Magazin and other notable publications, and he has exhibited extensively throughout Europe, organizing and participating in artist residencies in Vienna and Tuscany. Upcoming exhibitions include shows in the United States and India, as well as Kuntze's first museum exhibition in Germany, reflecting the growing demand for his work.
Paul Kuntze's practice occupies a striking threshold between eras. His paintings recall the celestial drama of Baroque frescoes - the sweeping architectures of sky, the emergence of mythic figures, the suggestion of divine space - but they are built through contemporary strategies: gradients laid down with spray paint, soft veils of atmospheric colour, and thick masses of paint sculpted with a palette knife. Each canvas evolves over extended periods, accumulating layers that evoke both palimpsest and apparition, emphasizing a process that balances deliberate construction with intuitive discovery.
Modern Freskos marks Kuntze’s first solo exhibition in India, and this publication celebrates his ongoing exploration of how history can be transformed through a fresh and personal vision.
