Title: "Durchlauf"

Description:
This painting feels like a moment when everything is moving at once – outside as well as inside.
The broad, flowing brushstrokes feel like traces of something that didn’t have time to stop. They race across the image, as if saying: "I’m just passing through – but I’m leaving something behind."

The black circle in the middle almost acts as a brief pause, a breath. Yet it is not perfectly closed either; it bears small irregularities, frayed edges, spots where it loses itself. As if admitting: "I’m trying to hold form, but the world is pulling at me."

"Durchlauf" is, in this sense, a very human moment. The painting shows not only movement but also the feeling of being in the middle of a process – not arriving, but not stopping either. A state everyone knows: when life carries you away before you are ready, and you still go on.

It reminds us that Durchlauf does not mean loss, but transformation. And that traces, even if fleeting, matter as long as they arise from a genuine impulse.

Christoph Prein is an Austrian artist known for his abstract and contemporary works, which are primarily created with acrylic paints. Originally from St. Margarethen near Knittelfeld, Prein’s pieces are often characterized by a minimalist, abstract style and are crafted with high-quality materials to ensure vibrant colors and longevity. In his art, he frequently engages 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 across 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.

For a painting with the dimensions 160 x 120 cm, you need a canvas stretcher of size 150 x 110 cm and a thickness of 2-4 cm.

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

This is a handmade original, which has been signed and dated on the back by the artist.

High-quality and lightfast acrylic paints were used on a multiple-times white-primed gallery canvas.

A varnish was also applied to protect the work.

This work is handmade and thus a one-of-a-kind!

Seller's Story

My name is Christoph Prein, a freelance artist from St. Margarethen near Knittelfeld. I have been painting for many years, especially acrylic painting. My abstract acrylic paintings and my classic works of art are made from high-quality materials. I only work with the finest artist acrylic and other selected products. All acrylic paintings are signed by me, dated to the year and sealed with a final varnish. I attach great importance to originality and confirm that each painting is handmade and therefore unique.
