Title: "Torn Middle"

Description:
"Zerrissene Mitte" feels like trying to keep one's balance in a moment full of tension. The red circle seems like a heart trying to hold itself together, while the black from all sides pulls at it. It’s as if watching an inner conflict breathe: the urge to stay strong, and the feeling of being pulled apart from the outside.

The splashes of color tell of impulses one couldn't control – words that became too loud, decisions that were made too quickly, emotions that were swallowed for too long. And in the midst of it all, this ring, raw, imperfect and yet steadfast, which shows how much we humans strive not to lose our center.

"Torn Middle" is not a cry, but an honest admission: that vulnerability and strength often exist at the same time, that we tear apart, but can also come back together.

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.

150 x 100 cm and a thickness of 2-4 cm.

You can either stretch the canvas yourself or have it stretched by an artisan or gallery professional.



This is a handcrafted original, signed and dated by the artist on the back.

High-quality, light-resistant acrylic paints were used on gallery canvas primed several times in white.

A varnish was also applied to protect the work.



This work is handmade and therefore unique!
