Title: "Krake der Nacht" (Octopus of the Night)
Description:
Like a mysterious creature from the darkness, the black form spreads across the light surface. Its long, irregular lines resemble tentacles reaching out in all directions. Splatters and fine traces give the impression that this creature suddenly emerged from the depths and in doing so set its surroundings in motion.
At the same time, there is a lot of room for imagination. One does not know whether the "Octopus of the Night" is waking up, spreading, or withdrawing back into the darkness. The radiant white around it enhances its mysterious presence and makes the black figure appear even more intense.
The painting tells of a force that cannot be controlled—wild, spontaneous, and a little eerie. Perhaps it is simply a moment when the Hidden is made visible and leaves its traces for a brief moment.
-
The *cracks in the painting are deliberate*. They are not a sign of damage, but part of the artistic expression. The fractures belong to the surface like scars to the skin: they tell of tension, movement, and the process itself. It is precisely through these cracks that 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 primarily with acrylic paints. Originally from St. Margarethen near Knittelfeld, Prein’s pieces are often characterized by a minimalist, abstract style and are meticulously crafted from high-quality materials to ensure vivid colors and longevity. In his art, he frequently explores themes such as identity, memory, and the examination 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 210 x 120 cm, you need a stretcher frame sized 200 x 110 cm with a thickness of 2-4 cm.
You can either simply stretch the canvas yourself or have a craftsman or gallery owner do it for you.
This is a handmade original, which the artist has signed on the back and dated.
High-quality and lightfast acrylic paints have been used on multiple primed gallery canvas.
A varnish was also applied to protect the work.
This work is handmade and therefore unique!

When a person goes 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, and also tormentingly set upright, then art is born.
