Description from the seller
Extinction collection
Zure lucht - acid sky - red
LA FABRIQUE — CHRONICLES OF ALTERED WORLDS
In this semi-abstract urban landscape, the artist explores the transformation of contemporary cities under the growing impact of human activity and environmental degradation. “Acid sky _red” offers a critical perspective on the contemporary urban landscape. It belongs to the series La Fabrique — Chronicles of Altered Worlds, which examines the paradoxical beauty of environments profoundly transformed by human intervention.
Monumental architectural structures emerge through a fragmented interplay of dark blues, blacks and luminous whites, while an intense, almost incandescent red dominates the upper part of the composition. This striking chromatic contrast disrupts the conventional perception of the urban skyline, suggesting an atmosphere profoundly altered by industrial pollution and environmental imbalance.
The architecture, simultaneously recognizable and fragmented, appears suspended between construction and dissolution. Through layered applications of paint, gestural marks and vertical drippings, the artist creates an unstable pictorial space in which the boundaries between the built environment and its reflection become increasingly ambiguous.
The red sky occupies a central conceptual role. No longer a neutral atmospheric background, it becomes an active visual presence, evoking the artificial transformation of natural phenomena and the increasingly complex relationship between human progress and ecological deterioration.
For the passionate of the city art collector, this piece is not merely a portrayal of architecture and street life but a nuanced commentary on the urban environment. It invites reflection on the intersection of solitude and community within urban spaces, making it a significant addition for those who appreciate deeper narratives in art.
Collecting such an artwork means a sure acquisition that speaks not only to aesthetic taste but also to cultural insight.
The canvas is painted in high quality acrylics on 100% cotton canvas, suitable for a chassis of 75 x 75 cm signed on verso and shipped unmounted and without stretchers, rolled up in a cardboard tube, with certificate of authenticity.

Seller's Story
A Note to Art Collectors
• Authenticity & Artistic Value:
Every artwork offered by Prettaugallery is an authentic, unique original painting, never a reproduction or giclée. Prettau’s distinctive artistic language is built upon complex layers, transparencies, shadows and subtle sfumato effects, whose depth and nuances cannot always be fully conveyed through photography.
• A Word on Valuation & Auction Prices:
Prettau’s artworks have received expert recognition, with median estimated values reaching up to five figures, as reflected in the I-CAC Prettau valuation index and prices in worldwide galleries.
Artistic value deserves informed consideration, and fair bidding is essential to maintaining the integrity of the art market.
• Shipping & Presentation:
Unless otherwise specified, artworks are shipped as unframed canvases. Studio display frames are not included and professional stretching and framing will be required. Screen brightness and colour settings may also differ from the appearance of the physical artwork.
• For further information, collectors are welcome to contact the seller about any question regarding their bidding.
