Hidden Heat
Description
Something glows beneath the white surface. It is not an open flame, but a remnant of embers — a memory of movement, of passion, of what once blazed. The color beneath seems to breathe, as if it is resisting forgetting.
Hidden heat tells of what is no longer visible but still perceptible. Of the fire that no longer burns but keeps the air warm. Of the attempt to lay calm over something wild—and the knowledge that it can never be fully tamed.
The image appears still, almost captured, but in the cracks, in the transitions between white, red, and black, a bubbling energy stirs that cannot quite be concealed. It is like a feeling you want to suppress, but that continues to work within you—quietly, patiently, unceasingly.
'Hidden heat' is not a standstill. It is a pause in the moment before something flares up again.

Christoph Prein is an Austrian artist known for his abstract and contemporary works, created primarily with acrylic paints. Originally from St. Margarethen near Knittelfeld, Prein's pieces are often characterized by their minimalist, abstract style and are carefully crafted from high-quality materials to ensure vibrant colors and longevity. His art frequently explores themes such as identity, memory, and the exploration of human emotions, often pushing the boundaries between the visible and the invisible.
Prein's approach to art is multidimensional, combining painting with elements of sculpture and installation. This unique style has earned him recognition both in Austria and internationally, with exhibitions throughout Europe, North America, and Asia. His works often invite the viewer to reflect on the complexity of the modern world and the deeper aspects of the human experience.
