Title: "Broken Earth"
Description:
"Broken Earth" tells of traces that life leaves behind. Of cracks, changes and moments in which something familiar breaks apart – and yet is not lost.
The warm earthy tones meet black, gray and almost pristine white. Between them, fine lines, splashes and layers emerge, reminiscent of torn earth, dried landscapes or the traces of a past storm. Nothing appears fully controlled – and therein lies the special power of the painting.
For me, broken earth stands not only for decay. It also stands for change. For where something breaks open, something new can arise. The cracks tell of what was, while the open areas create space for what is yet to come.
The painting invites viewers to see their own fractures not only as something painful but also as part of their own journey. For sometimes, exactly there, something new begins where something old has shattered.
-
The cracks in the painting are intentional. They are not signs of damage, but part of the artistic expression. The fractures belong to the surface as scars 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, 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 crafted from high-quality materials to ensure vibrant colors and longevity. In his art, he frequently includes themes such as identity, memory and the exploration of human emotions, often shifting the boundaries between the visible and the invisible.
Prein’s approach to art is multidimensional, blending painting with elements of sculpture and installation. This unique style has earned him recognition in both Austria and internationally, with exhibitions across Europe, North America and Asia. His works invite viewers to reflect on the complexity of the modern world and the deeper aspects of human experience.
For a painting measuring 200 x 110 cm, a canvas frame of 190 x 100 cm with a thickness of 2-4 cm is required.
