About this artwork
An oak trunk, supported by a curved square iron, resting on a 100-year-old greeting-iron ring, a furrow filled with pewter, a polished, exotic stone in the crown, encased in cactus tissue.

« The purpose of painting is to paint, it finds its goal unintentionally. »
Rainer Gebauer is an experienced artist based in Germany whose paintings have been exhibited nationally. He believes that a picture that is subjectively perceived as beautiful appeals to the viewer's own feelings and experiences. For Gebauer, abstract forms give the viewer space and freedom to develop their own feelings, subsequently creating a relationship between artist and viewer. He primarily creates with acrylics on canvas.
