In this work, Rainer Fetting portrays himself and Luciano Castelli as “big-city Indians” with piercing gazes, casually facing the viewer. The painting was created for the film “Room Full of Mirrors,” which the two artists shot together on Lanzarote in 1982.
In 1978, Fetting completed his studies at the Berlin University of the Arts under Hans Jaenisch. As early as 1977, he was among the co-founders of the legendary Galerie am Moritzplatz, alongside Helmut Middendorf, Salomé, Bernd Zimmer, Berthold Schepers, Luciano Castelli, and others. The artists, who became known as the “Neue Wilde” (New Wild Ones), brought figurative painting back into the spotlight of contemporary art. Rainer Fetting’s international recognition is evident in the solo exhibitions he has held almost annually since 1981 at numerous galleries in Europe and America. [EH]
