ANSELM KIEFER

This story has been inspired from paintings and sculptures created by the Artist Anselm Kiefer, I have used prominent elements from his work and interpreted it into embroideries.
Anselm Kiefer (born March 8, 1945) is a German painter and sculptor. His works incorporate materials such as straw, ash, clay, lead, and shellac.

In his entire body of work, Kiefer argues with the past and addresses taboo and controversial issues from recent history. Themes from the second world war are particularly reflected in his work, such as the horror of Holocaust.
His works are characterized by an unflinching willingness to confront his culture's dark past, and unrealized potential, in works that are often done on a large, confrontational scale well suited to the subjects.
