Peter Dreher

About

Since 1972, the German painter Peter Dreher has embarked on an endeavour to paint one single object over and over again. His chosen subject is an empty glass that he paints from life, sometimes at daytime and sometime at night. To date, Dreher has painted over three and a half thousand canvases of the glass - all the same size but all differing slightly depending on the light of the studio and temperament of the painter. The small paintings are completed in one sitting in his secluded studio in the Black Forest.
