In 1965 the group SPUR, to which Heimrad Prem belonged, joined forces with the group WIR and formed the group GEFLECHT. Under the influence of Pop-Art, they take on objects of contemporary culture, such as cars, into their pictures and depict these motifs in an abstract manner. Heimrad Prem painted car pictures since 1965: "I don't depcit the car as a symbol, but as a form of space. I am fascinated by the in- and the outside, which are both represented in equal measure." (Translation of quote from Pia Dornacher, Heimrad Prem - Retrospektive und Werkverzeichnis, Munich 1995, p. 16). In this picture the landscape is passing by over the heads of driver and co-driver. To Heimrad Prem it is crucial to maintain his artistic individuality, he does not accept to take a subordinate role in the group GEFLECHT, and creates typical works that combine abstraction and figuration.
