In 1972, Peter Dreher painted the first of his well-known glass paintings. In the years that followed, numerous more were created, in which he characterized the empty glass of water on a table in front of a white wall.
Rather than still lifes, the small format works appear to be portraits. They appear to be small-format individual portraits, in which not only the nature of the glasses, their surface and the incident light, but also their character and individual expression should be apparent. The aspect of time plays an important role within this central series of works. Distinguishable in a day and night series, the artist captures the tiniest changes in light at different times of the day and seasons, from various reflections, shading and reflections on the glass surface, thereby elevating this ordinary-looking everyday object into an expressive and fascinating motif.
