ABOUT THE ARTWORK
A WINTER DAYBREAK ABOVE VENICE 2016 120 (w) x 80 (h) x 2 cm acrylic and oil on canvas Winter in Venice. Fog rolls over the island. Dimmed light and subdued colors everywhere. Venetians speak in a hushed tone, dressed in fur coats and hats. Low voices from the piazzas, churches and small restaurants. Gondoliers guide their narrow boats out of the mist. Winter is a romantic season, a poem of the golden age. Time stands still, world stands still. Winter in Venice. Waiting for a daybreak. * * * * "Venice was and is full of lost places where people put up for sale the last worn bits of their souls, hoping no one will buy.” - Ray Bradbury * * * * This painting was selected and featured by Saatchi Art and is part of the Saatchi Art collection ROMANTIC LANDSCAPES INSPIRED BY CASPER DAVID FRIEDRICH (September 2018). * * * * This piece is a true LARGE-SIZED PAINTING. For a large-scale, aesthetic, finely nuanced impression on your wall and with my authentic, artistic subsurface message. I use exclusively oil and acrylic colours, canvas and wooden frames in a professional museum quality. The painting wears my signature on the front and is signed, entitled and dated on the backside. Deliberately the sides (about 2 cm wide) are not part of the painting and show the black-painted canvas (beautiful contrast). The painting is ready to hang (on the backside: high-quality iron plates with metal inserts and nylon rope for gallery use), unframed and doesn’t need a frame or any additional surface treatment. The piece will be safely shipped in a custom wooden crate. It will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and a cover letter as an additional part of the artwork. Please note: In context pictures are not necessarily to scale and are for illustrative purposes only. If you have any questions about this painting or any other piece, feel free to contact me and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks so much for taking an interest in my work. Warm wishes, Christian

Christian Bahr
Germany
CHRISTIAN BAHR has been a passionate, profound contemporary German painter and experienced draftsman for over 35 years. His large abstract works can currently be found in private collections and public spaces in the US, Mexico, Canada, UK, China, Thailand, Australia, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Malta, Sweden, Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. His atmospheric large paintings are poetry and artistic struggle at the same time. They capture both harmony and conflict, overall reflecting a strong aesthetic. He has participated in many national and international exhibitions. What he believes in: * “Not everything is art. But art is everything and everything breathes art in one way or another. Art is the true beauty of mankind.” * “I work in my studio nearby the big German coastal city of Hamburg, on the North sea. I’m a seeker as a painter, in search of answers. The single human takes center stage. I work constantly, with great passion and discipline on my further artistic way. I have a clear, strong painting philosophy. And I deal with philosophical, mythological as well as with historical subjects in my works.” * “I go my own way in my paintings. I find the source for my inspiration in me. Spontaneous action is the key, my preferred method. I work intuitively and in most cases without previous sketches, because I do not need a creative distance, I only reduce the view of our surroundings. Added value and clarity through abstraction. It must be rough, original, melancholic, dark, and yet at the same time bright, poetic, clear and full of hope. No maybe, no lukewarm. Every moment counts. That's exactly how I paint."
