Friedrich Kunath

Born in former East Germany and now based in Los Angeles, Friedrich Kunath makes work whose core lies in the fusion of the two cultures. Kunath’s paintings combine the sublime aesthetic of German Romanticism with motifs from western popular culture, incorporating lyrical references, cartoon imagery, and album covers with his signature style combining pathos and a witty sense of humor. ccompanying the paintings is a visual narrative that follows Kunath along his travels around the world, encapsulating his many identities as artist, tennis coach, car enthusiast, and consummate collector.
