lila Wald, 2001

Drypoint on copper plate, printed by hand on Zerkall handmade paper 340 g, - Printed by Eva Möseneder Salzburg - Frame and paper size 50 x 40 cm, plate 20.2 x 18 cm // This artwork is a drypoint etching on a copper plate, meticulously printed by hand on Zerkall handmade paper (340 g). Measuring 20.2 x 18 cm within a larger frame and paper size of 50 x 40 cm, the piece features a rich, textured field of deep purple strokes. Rainer's signature approach to overpainting and mark-making is evident in this composition, where layers of fine, chaotic lines create a dense, shadow-like form. The title, Lila Wald (Purple Forest), evokes both nature and abstraction, capturing a sense of depth and mystery within the monochromatic hue. Part of an edition of 40, this work reflects Rainer’s dedication to exploring texture, color, and emotion through meticulous hand-printing techniques. Show Less
