Title: "Tauchgang"

Description:
"Tauchgang" is an invitation to slow down and to engage with what lies beneath the surface. The painting does not reveal itself at first glance – it invites you to pause, look deeper, and let yourself be drawn step by step into its layered blues.

Just like diving into calm water, with every layer the sounds of the outside world fade away. What remains is silence, vastness, and the feeling of moving in a space between memory and present. The suggested shapes and textures emerge and disappear, as fragments of thoughts, dreams, or long-ago moments.

Blue stands for depth, but also for trust. It creates a place of calm where not everything needs to be explained. Dive tells of the beauty of the unknown and of the willingness to embark on an inward journey. Not to find something specific, but to encounter oneself anew in the stillness.

The work invites the viewer to let go, to dive in, and for a moment to leave time at the surface behind.

-

The cracks in the painting are intentionally deliberate. They are not a sign of damage, but part of the artistic expression. The fractures belong to the surface as scars belong to the skin: they tell of tension, movement, and the process itself. Precisely through these cracks the work gains depth and authenticity – nothing is smoothed, nothing hidden.

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 engages themes such as identity, memory, and the exploration of human emotions, often blurring the lines 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 as well as 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 the dimensions 160 x 120 cm you need a stretched canvas frame of 150 x 110 cm and a thickness of 2-4 cm.

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 by the artist on the back and dated.

High-quality and fade-resistant acrylic paints have been applied on multiple-primed gallery canvas.

A varnish was also applied to protect the work.

This work is handmade and therefore unique!

If a person goes into his innermost depths, into a sphere that rarely comes to light, into a space that mysteriously and hidden is waiting to be discovered, tickled awake, also tormentingly propped up, then art is born.
