Title: "Rust and Ash"

Description:
"Rust and Ash" tells of traces that remain when something has gone into motion. Rust stands for time, change and slow decay – ash for what lingers after an intense moment. Between them lies life: unsettled, powerful, sometimes contradictory.

The black lines act like memories that carve their way through the surface. The warm rust-orange brings something earthy and fleeting into it, while the gray lies like a veil over it. Nothing is truly finished. Everything seems still in motion.

Perhaps that is exactly the story of this painting: not the end as the focus, but the traces of what has been – and the possibility that something new can arise from it.

-

The cracks in the painting are intentional. They are not a sign of damage, but part of the artistic expression. The breaks 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.

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 their 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 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 distinctive style has earned him recognition both in Austria and internationally, with exhibitions across Europe, North America and Asia. His works invites the viewer to reflect on the complexity of the modern world and the deeper aspects of the human experience.

For a painting with dimensions 210 x 110 cm you need a stretcher frame of size 200 x 100 cm and a thickness of 2-4 cm.

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

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

High-quality and lightfast acrylic paints were used on multiple white-primed gallery canvas.

A varnish was also applied to protect the work.

This work is handmade and thus unique!

If a person goes into his innermost depth, into a sphere that rarely comes to light, into a space that is mysterious and hidden, waiting to be discovered, tickled awake, even agonizingly 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.
