Arnulf RAINER

Arnulf Rainer is an Austrian artist whose radical work has profoundly influenced contemporary European art. Known for his interventions on existing photographs, paintings, or prints—which he covers, crosses out, or extends—he explores the limits of gesture, erasure, and transformation.

His works, marked by a tension between violence and introspection, question the presence of the body, death, and the mystery of the image. In his posters, his expressive and raw language captivates, like a physical and spiritual struggle inscribed in matter.
