Frescographie

 

The Frescography is the only reproduction method which allows the perfect adjustment of the picture composition to any given project site. This makes the Frescography a revolutionary breakthrough in the field of wall painting; it enables the production of wall paintings at a much lower cost and shorter length of time, thus opening this art form to a far wider audience.

While other techniques use readymade paintings which only are scaled or cut to fit to the wall measurements, Latzke chose a completely different approach. In this process, paintings are disassembled into their individual elements and then reassembled accordingly to the architecture of the room. The composition is then transferred to a wall-size canvas and attached on-site to the wall. Doors and windows can be integrated into the painting by framing them with illusionistic architecture, giving the Frescography the same impression as an on-site, hand-created wall painting.

Like an original Lithography every Frescography is hand-manufactured in the artist´s studio and signed with the artist’s signature, making it a valuable and unique piece of art.

 

Examples:

The Royal Clipper

The Royal Clipper, the world´s largest sailing boat, was the first time that the Frescography was introduced to the public. Numerous international guests, among them Queen Silvia of Sweden, attended the opening ceremony.

The Royal Clipper is the world´s biggest 5-rigg boat. Built by Michal Kraft, a close friend of Rainer Maria Latzke, it sails around the world and hosts is guest with a 6 star service. When Michael heard about Rainer’s invention he wanted to be the first to implement it in a public space.

 

Asia Pool

By integrating all architectural elements of a room into the composition, the outcome of a Frescography is equivalent to the Trompe l’oeil effect (French for ‘tricking the eye’) of a mural created onsite.

A flawless illusion through the perfect adjustment to the architectural requirements of the wall: A niche becomes a comfortable seating area where one can take a seat inside the picture.

 

Pudong apartment

In Shanghai, next to the Pudong River, Latzke created a beautiful, classical European atmosphere for a wealthy client´s apartment.

With Frescographies, walls become art work: Lifeless walls become vibrant: illusionary architecture, European paintings and a terrace overlooking Capri form a classical European atmosphere.
