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: "Counterpart"

Description:
This work lives from contrasts that are simultaneously connected to each other. The two red shapes seem like independent forces – sometimes in dialogue, sometimes in conflict. In between, black lines and splashes of color run across the canvas, as if they were revealing the invisible tension between the two.

The composition feels spontaneous and powerful, yet it also contains something human. It evokes relationships, thoughts, or feelings that attract and repel at the same time. Despite the restlessness, there is a balance that does not have to be perfect to appear harmonious. This is precisely the special effect of the painting: the interplay of chaos, movement, and quiet connection.

The canvas is delivered rolled up.

Christoph Prein is an Austrian artist known for his abstract and contemporary works, mainly created with acrylic paints. Originally from St. Margarethen near Knittelfeld, Prein’s pieces are often characterized by a minimalist, abstract style and are carefully made from high-quality materials to ensure vibrant colors and longevity. In his art he frequently addresses 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 measuring 210 x 120 cm, a stretcher frame of size 200 x 110 cm and a thickness of 2-4 cm is required.

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

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

High-quality and lightfast acrylic paints have been used on multiple layers of white-primed gallery canvas.

A varnish has also been applied to protect the work.

This piece is handcrafted and therefore a one-of-a-kind!

--- Real certificate included ---

Beautify your private residence, law firm, practice, or office and elevate your premises in an elegant and stylish way.

When a person goes into his innermost depths, into a sphere that rarely comes to light, into a space that is mysteriously and hiddenly waiting to be discovered, tickled awake, also tormentedly 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.
