Description from the seller

A unique piece by the artist Christoph Prein - UNIQUE & ORIGINAL PAINTING - 100% HAND-PAINTED - Description and real-time certificate included!

-

Title: "Warning Signal"

Description:
This painting does not shout – it pauses. The red stands there like an elevated pulse, visible, unmistakable. It is not a color of decoration, but of urgency. Something wants to be seen before it’s too late.

The black against it lies heavy and authoritative, like doubt or resistance. It slows, interrupts, slices into the movement. Between them, little room remains for excuses. The shapes read as signs that can no longer be ignored – raw, direct, without explanation.

"Warning Signal" tells of the moment when the body or the mind says: stop. Of a boundary that does not arise from fear, but from self‑protection. It is the image of an inner voice that does not have to be loud to be taken seriously. A silent, but clear sign: attention is required now.

The canvas is delivered rolled.

Christoph Prein is an Austrian artist known for his abstract and contemporary works, created mainly with acrylic paints. Originating 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 engages themes such as identity, memory, and the exploration of human emotions, often blurring the line 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 in Austria and internationally, with exhibitions across Europe, North America, and Asia. His works often invite the viewer to reflect on the complexities of the modern world and the deeper aspects of human experience.

For a painting measuring 210 x 120 cm, you need a stretched canvas frame of size 200 x 110 cm with 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, signed by the artist and dated on the back.

High-quality, fade-resistant acrylic paints have been applied on multiple layers of white-primed gallery canvas.

A varnish has also been applied to protect the work.

This work is handmade and therefore unique!

--- Authenticity certificate included ---

Enhance your private residence, law firm, clinic, or office, and elevate your surroundings in an elegant and stylish way.

When a person ventures into his innermost depths, into a sphere that rarely comes to light, into a space that is mysterious and hidden, waiting to be discovered, tickled awake, even tormentingly propped up, then art is born.

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.
