About The Artwork
THE GHOSTS OF THE FOREST diptych 2017/19 acrylic and oil on canvas 260 (w) x 150 (h) x 2 cm There was a time when the ghosts talked to us. But do we remember where we came from? So much of our future lies in preserving our past. The world inside us, our memories, intensive moments, bittersweet but indispensable feelings. And what about the ghosts and their stories from a time long ago? The diptych combines following 2 works and should "read" from left to right: "WHEN THE NIGHT FALLS ON SACRED LAND II" acrylic and oil on canvas, 2019, 120 (w) x 150 (h) x 2 cm left part of the diptych "WHEN MORNING CONQUERS THE DARK OF NIGHT" acrylic and oil on canvas, 2017, 120 (w) x 150 (h) x 2 cm right part of the diptych * * * "The muses are ghosts, and sometimes they come uninvited." - Stephen King (ex: Bag of Bones) "Ghosts don't haunt us. They're present among us because we won't let go of them." - Sue Grafton (ex: M is for Malice) * * * This diptych is a true LARGE-SIZED PAIR OF PAINTINGS. For a large-scale, finely nuanced aesthetic impression on your wall AND as my authentic and personal artwork with an artistic subsurface message. Both paintings also for sale as single pieces here at Saatchi Art. This diptych offers a price advantage in comparision to the summarized single selling prices. For further information about the specific topic of each artwork and additional photos please visit the pages of both single paintings at Saatchi Art. I use exclusively oil and acrylic colors, canvas and solid wooden frames in a professional museum quality. The two paintings wear my signature on the front and they are signed, entitled and dated on the backside. Deliberately the sides/edges (about 2 cm wide) are not part of the paintings and show the black painted canvas (beautiful contrast). The paintings are ready to hang (on the backsides: high-quality iron plates with metal inserts and nylon rope for gallery use), unframed and don’t need a frame or any additional surface treatment. Both paintings need a single hanging (no backside connections between the paintings). This diptych contains 2 single paintings, each in acrylic and oil on canvas and with dimensions of 120 (w) x 150 (h) cm. I prefer a hanging distance each of 20 cm between the 2 single paintings. Complete dimensions of this artwork, including the hanging space between both paintings: 260 (w) x 150 (h) x 2 cm. The piece (2 paintings) will be safely shipped in a custom wooden crate. It will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, a cover letter and two poems (written for the paintings). Please note: In context pictures are not necessarily to scale and are for illustrative purposes only. If you have any questions about this diptych 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 has been a passionate, profound German painter and experienced draftsman for over 35 years, selling his works worldwide. His 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." ........................................................................... “Painting is a beauty, soul and passion, but sometimes fighting. A fight with myself, an endless struggle for colors and motif in my own conversation, as a rough internal dialogue. There are these days and nights, when I fight for every single brushstroke, when I question every color scheme. But it is good it is not always easy. Because each artistic battle is worthwhile and shows that I am - as an artist - still alive, breathing and developing.“ ...........................................................................
