Drypoint on Aluminium plate, printed by Hand on Zerkall handmade Paper 340g // This drypoint etching on an aluminum plate, printed by hand on Zerkall handmade paper (340g), measures 68 x 50 cm and is part of a limited edition of 40. The composition features a dense black mass of overlapping, chaotic lines, creating a textured and almost impenetrable block of darkness. The marks radiate slightly at the edges, suggesting energy and movement, yet the form remains a powerful monolithic presence. Rainer’s intense layering of lines explores the tension between control and spontaneity, abstraction and structure. En Face (schwarz) reflects Rainer's fascination with the expressive potential of drypoint etching. The work transforms minimalistic form into a meditative exploration of depth, density, and the void. This piece is a striking example of Rainer's ability to use repetition and intensity to push the boundaries of abstraction and emotional resonance.
