Title: "Blockade"

Description:
Sometimes it feels as if something heavy is resting on us. As if dark areas had slid on top of each other and were trying to suffocate the glow underneath. "Blockade" tells of exactly this moment – of feeling stuck, not seeing a way through, not spotting a clear path.

And yet there is this blue.

It breaks through the seams, glints between the black layers, breathes under the pressure. It is not loud, not pushy – but unmistakable. Like a thought that cannot be suppressed. Like hope that refuses to disappear.

The black forms act like barriers, like protective shields or obstacles – perhaps imposed from the outside, perhaps erected by oneself. They overlap, obscure, control. But they are not complete. They cannot completely swallow the glow.

"Blockade" is not stagnation. It is tension. It is the struggle between narrowing and widening, between darkness and inner light. A painting about resilience – about how something within us keeps glowing even under pressure.

The canvas is delivered rolled.

Christoph Prein is an Austrian artist known for his abstract and contemporary works, created mainly with acrylic paints. Originally from St. Margarethen near Knittelfeld, Prein’s pieces are often characterized by a minimalist, abstract style and are carefully crafted from high-quality materials to ensure vibrant colors and longevity. In his art, he frequently touches on 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 viewers to reflect on the complexities of the modern world and the deeper aspects of the human experience.

For a painting with dimensions 200 x 100 cm you need a stretcher frame of size 190 x 90 cm and a thickness of 2-4 cm.

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

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

High-quality, light-fast acrylic paints have been used on a multiple-times white-grounded gallery canvas.

A varnish was also applied to protect the work.

This work is handmade and therefore a unique piece!
