Description

From ECHO.lu

Hermann Reimer (*1959, Münster, Germany) lives and works in Berlin. Initially, Reimer studied physics, before dedicating himself to art studies at the Universität der Künste in Berlin in 1985. The artist focuses on interior and urban exterior spaces, often blurring the boundaries between the two. His depictions of hotels, vacation apartments, living rooms, and landscapes often feature stage-like interiors devoid of people or with solitary figures, separated by abstract elements. His paintings are characterized by sections where depicted objects and people seem to dissolve, blurring the line between foreground and background. Reimer’s compositions, while comprised of familiar elements, alienate the viewer, preventing them from finding rest.

.

Reimer’s work also features landscape painting, where he applies impasto colours right on site in nature. The artist has a virtuosic way of depicting light, presenting the landscapes in strong contrasts and tempting the viewer to stay and wander through his both sun-drenched and shady pictorial worlds. The landscapes are never particularly impressive, but Hermann Reimer manages to transform this ordinary scenes into a captivating composition.
