Title: "Bar Shift"
Description
Something isn't quite right here—and that's exactly where the tension lies. The forms seem to follow a fixed rhythm, yet again they edge a little offbeat. Like a heartbeat that briefly stumbles, like a step that comes too early or too late.
Red pushes forward, Black resists, White makes room to breathe. Nothing is random, but nothing is completely under control either. Order tries to assert itself, while movement quietly undermines it.
“Taktverschiebung” feels human: this constant balancing between structure and impulse, between going along and resistance. An image of the small 'beside'—that subtle shift that makes everything come alive.

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.
