A black-and-white photographic portrait is aggressively overpainted with thick, gestural strokes of oil, while grease pencil marks cut across the surface in urgent, scratchy lines. Rainer's characteristic act of defacement and self-obscuration transforms the underlying image into a raw, expressive field of tension between representation and abstraction. The work mounted on aluminium plate underscores the confrontational permanence of this violent yet deeply personal intervention.
