Fertility 2003

Christian Attersee’s 2003 painting, “Fertility,” is a vibrant and abstract representation of a flower, possibly a poppy. Attersee, known for his expressive style, utilizes bold strokes and a rich palette to convey the bloom's life force. The painting’s background, dominated by a deep crimson, creates a sense of intensity, while the white and yellow accents add bursts of light. The thick, textured paint application further emphasizes the artist’s passionate approach, drawing the viewer into the heart of the blossoming form. This work exemplifies Attersee's fascination with the natural world and its symbolic power, particularly the concept of renewal and life.
