Artist Spotlight: Ruprecht von Kauffman

A selection of paintings from Berlin-based artist Ruprecht von Kauffman (previously featured here). Von Kaufmann was born in Munich and studied at the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles, California. Forceful, emotional and purposefully unsettling, von Kaufmann’s work is full of dark humour and melancholy. While capturing moments that are at once deeply personal, his artworks often hint at a sense of universal or shared experience.
