Rainer Wenzl

Rainer Wenzl is a multi-media artist/photographer whose work has been published in many international publications and exhibited in numerous galleries. He retired from working as a visual arts/media arts educator in Toronto, ON, and now focuses on working full-time as an artist in Shediac, NB.

Rainer uses a combination of contemporary techniques and traditional processes with watercolours, printmaking, leaded glass and historical photographic techniques.

His latest works are a series of watercolour paintings “Spruce and Gasoline” and a series of gum-bichromate photographs that deal with contrasts and misconceptions.


Rainer Wenzl

- Visual Artist

The watercolour series are created from a variety of photo-montages and photographs taken from his travels, and explore the relationship between people and their environment.  The paintings focus on the beauty that surrounds us in both rural and urban areas.

His latest gum-bichromate photographs are printed on watercolour paper and include newspaper clippings and watercolour painted portions. The result is a painterly image that blurs the lines between photography and painting, and of what is real and imagined.
