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 Art Informel?

Art Informel is a French term referring to the gestural and improvisational techniques common in abstract painting during the 1940s and 50s. It encompasses various styles that dominated these decades, characterized by informal, spontaneous methods. Artists used this term to describe approaches that moved away from traditional structures and embraced more expressive, unstructured techniques.
