Jörg Reme (Danzig, 1941) As a young artist, Remé focused on a total renewal of pictorial expression, but without cutting off the sources of inspiration of the avant-garde and of the great masters of the past. In 1968, he experiences the 'big bang' of his artistic consciousness, when he triggers the creation of his unique 'art figure'. In doing so, he breaks through the traditional laws of anatomy and naturalistic imitation, and links the formal language of the entire history of art with that of other cultures. had come, Remé ushered in a period of intense experimentation. He confronted his 'art figures' with the plastic spaces of the great currents of modern art - from the 'metaphysics' and futurists to the cubists, the neo-expressionists, the 'Neue Wilde' and the post-modernists. He also succeeded in applying his formal language to exotic environments and themes, thereby building a bridge to the visual language of non-Western cultures, in particular those of India and South America. In doing so, he broadened the perspective of his ambition as a painter.Remé explores a completely personal and immediately recognizable world of imagination, opening up unprecedented possibilities for contemporary painting. In his work he creates emotional relationships between his 'art figures' and the animated spaces they populate; in these spaces a synthesis of landscape and architectural motifs has been achieved. In doing so, he realizes a new and original vision of the inexhaustible expressiveness of the pictorial tradition, and lets the great cultures of the past and at the same time the achievements of modern art resonate in his work. has created within the grand narrative of painting, embracing both tradition and innovation. He combines a rare mastery of the craft with the most daring experiments. In his recent work he penetrates the mystery of art and the artistic experience. In his canvases he evokes sublime figures and forms, such as they can present themselves to us in blissful or bewildering moments. Remé's work opens a convincing new chapter of this century's painting.
