Rainer Fetting, painter, graphic artist, sculptor, film maker and material artist, is a key figure of the neo-expressive figuration of the “Neuen Wilden” [New Wild Ones] in the 1980s. In 1977 Rainer Fetting counted, along with Helmut Middendorf, Salome and Bernd Zimmer, among the founding fathers of the famous Berlin “Selbsthilfegalerie” [Self-Help Gallery] at the Moritzplatz, which would soon become the center of the “New Wild Ones”. The first group exhibition in 1980 was accordingly titled “Vehement Painting”. Characteristic of Rainer Fetting’s tempered painting is the free and highly subjective figuration in a strong-expressive, massively contoured coloring and a wild-spontaneous duct. Additionally, his art features typically “postmodernist” references, such as it is the case with his “Duschbildern” [Shower Pictures] as well as his tendencies to serial variations and motif series (“Fische”, “Indianer” etc.). Numerous exhibitions are proof of an unceasing interest in Rainer Fetting since the early 1980. His works can be seen in many museums all around the world.
