Title: "Shockwave"
Description:
Sometimes movement does not arise slowly and steadily, but in a single, powerful moment. An impulse is enough to set something in motion that far exceeds its origin. Exactly this moment this work captures: the moment when energy is released and makes its way unstoppable.
The black traces appear as visible signs of an explosion or a impact. They spread in all directions, wild and unpredictable, while the red line runs like a concentrated current through the image. Between chaos and clarity a tension arises that holds the gaze and at the same time directs it forward.
"Shockwave" tells of changes that happen suddenly and set everything in motion. Of decisions, encounters or events whose effects reach far beyond the first moment. The painting reminds us that even the smallest trigger can create something great – and that in every upheaval there is also the strength for a new beginning.
-
The cracks in the painting are intentional.
They are not signs of damage, but part of the artistic expression. The breaks 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, mostly created with acrylic paints. Originally from St. Margarethen bei 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 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, blending 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 measuring 200 x 110 cm, you need a stretched canvas frame of size 190 x 100 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 representative.
This is a handmade original, signed by the artist on the back and dated by year.
High-quality and lightfast acrylic paints have been used on multiple white-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 mysteriously and hiddenly waiting to be discovered, tickled awake, also tormentingly propped up, then art is born.
