About the Item

This piece, titled "Steve", is an original oil painting by André Schulze based on the default male player character in the video game Minecraft. It was made in the artist's signature pixelated oil painting style on top of a vintage painting on canvas that the artist restored. The piece measures 21.75"h x 16"w framed, and ships in the featured vintage frame. The artist uses old paintings, often saved from disposal, found in antique and thrift stores or given to him by collectors. The artist thoroughly restores the frequently badly damaged old paintings before he continues to layer them with his own painted contemporary imagery, mixing in subtle humor and attention to detail. Through the restoration of the artworks and his modern interpretation, he sees his process as a second life for forgotten artworks. From the conscious reuse of materials to the renewed chance at a captive audience for the artwork, the artist relocates the worlds in the paintings to our present moment in layers that extend beyond the painted surface. André Schulze (1982) is an artist and painting conservator from Dresden, Germany who specializes in the restoration and remodeling of old paintings. Schulze studied painting/graphics at the Dresden University of Fine Arts from 2006 - 2011, graduated with a diploma in 2011 and was a master student at the Dresden University of Fine Arts from 2011 - 2013. He has received numerous painting prizes like the Eb-Dietzsch Art Prize for Painting and Josef Hegenbarth Scholarship and has appeared in several international publications. His work has been placed in private and public collections around the world, including Dresden State Art Collections, and recently on display at Delaware Contemporary, in DE, USA.
