Drypoint on Aluminumplate // This drypoint etching on an aluminum plate, measuring 50 x 68 cm, presents a striking abstract composition. A dense, chaotic cluster of overlapping lines dominates the center of the work, rendered in a deep blue hue. The swirling lines give a sense of dynamic motion, evoking the vastness of space and the energy of celestial forms, as implied by the title Kosmos III (Cosmos III). Rainer’s controlled spontaneity highlights his fascination with abstraction, texture, and the expressive potential of linework. The delicate yet intense layering of marks suggests themes of infinite depth and cosmic chaos, while the restrained color palette amplifies its meditative quality. Part of an edition of 40, the work exemplifies Rainer’s mastery in drypoint printing and his exploration of the metaphysical through art.

What is automatism?
Automatism refers to a technique in the creative process that accesses material from the unconscious or subconscious mind. It is based on Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic method of free association. Artists value this process for its ability to inspire creative thought and spontaneous creation.
