About The Artwork
MEET ME ON GARDINER’S ISLAND 2021 150 (h) x 120 (w) x 2 cm 59,1 (h) x 47,2 (w) x 0,79 in acrylic and oil on canvas Inspired by the beautiful landscape in the Hamptons in early autumn… Meet me on Gardiner’s Island, you said a long time ago. Do you remember, and do you still remember my name? Countless years passed, some melancholy, others meaningless. What seemed right became more and more blurred in the sea of your longings. We wanted so much, and yet we were no more and no different from all the others who tried to climb these peaks before us. And I ask you again: do you remember me and the way I remember you? Once upon a time we were queen and king, an adventurous world at our feet. But today we are history, and I know you are sleeping peacefully. I'm part of a story from another life. The storm is over. And we never met on Gardiner’s island, never will. * * * “Sometimes, I don’t know what haunts me more. The memories of you, or the happy person I used to be.” ~ Ranata Suzuki "The course of true love did never run smooth." ~ William Shakespeare ("A Midsummer Night's Dream") * * * This painting is a LARGE-SIZED artwork and offers an aesthetic impression on your wall and - as my authentic and personal artwork - an artistic subsurface message. It is for sale as a single piece and as the central part of the statement-piece and triptych LATE SUMMER IN THE HAMPTONS. For more photos and additional information on the work, please read the very extensive, current interview about my art and painting philosophy on my English website (also available as PDF-file for download): www.7and1lives.de/philosophy I use exclusively oil and acrylic colors, canvas and wooden frames in a professional museum quality. The paintings bears my signature on the front and is signed, entitled and dated on the backside. Deliberately the sides are not a part of the painting and show the white and pure canvas with a few splashes of paint to emphasize the intuitiveness and spontaneity of the painting process. 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. Please note: In context pictures are not necessarily to scale and are for illustrative purposes only. If you have any questions about this artwork 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.“ ...........................................................................
