As leading German water-color painter in present-day
Germany, he expands the concept of water-color
painting along three determinants:
For one, new visual sensations are stimulated by works composed of several parts, thereby achieving dimensions of up to four by six meters. Also, to quote Walter Koschatzky, former director of the Albertina, Vienna, he : "Gives proof of exceptional craftsmanship in mastering the most spontaneous of the artistic media".
Morover, as a "landscape artist". Weber fixates on paper the immediacy of artistic expression by making visible the very process of painting. The viewer thus becomes aware of the artist's emotional energy and suspense and how these reflect the dynamic emotional undercurrent of our times Last but not least, Weber, like many painters, has remained true to himself, irrespective of all manifestations of zeitgeist.
His work is both unique and distinctive. It is the outcome of an artistic process extending over more than 25 years, watercoloring constituting " both the beginning and culmination of all painting", as put by
Bodo Jagdsteiner.
Though the technical elements may be quite basic, requiring merely white paper and pigments dissolved in water, such purism exercised in the application of color is, for Weber, a spritual principle, it depicts suspense regarding the whole as well as contemplative withdrawal.
In their joint exhibitions, Jagna and Rainer Weber emphasize their commitment to the sustainability of living conditions
for all species.
