Jörg Remé - Title unknown.

As a young artist, Remé focused on a total renewal of pictorial expression, but without cutting off the sources of inspiration from the avant-garde and the great masters of the past. In 1968, he experienced the 'big bang' of his artistic consciousness, when he brought about the creation of his unique 'art figure'. In doing so, he broke through the traditional laws of anatomy and naturalistic imitation, and he connected the formal language of the entire history of art and that of other cultures. The free morphology of his 'art figures', which had developed between 1968 and 1975, led Remé into a period of intensive experimentation. He confronted his 'art figures' with the plastic spaces of the great movements of modern art - from the 'metaphysicians' and futurists to the cubists, the neo-expressionists, the 'Neue Wilde' and the post-modernists. In addition, he also succeeded in applying his formal language to exotic environments and themes, and in doing so, he built a bridge to the visual language of non-Western cultures, particularly those of India and South America. In doing so, he broadened the perspective of his ambition as a painter. Remé explores a completely unique and immediately recognizable world of imagination, with which he opens up unprecedented possibilities for contemporary painting. In his work, he creates emotional relationships between his 'art figures' and the animated spaces they inhabit; in those 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 at the same time lets the great cultures of the past and the achievements of modern art resonate in his work. The completely unique pictorial world that Remé has created in his very varied oeuvre within the great story of painting, embraces 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 paintings he evokes sublime figures and forms, such as those that can present themselves to us in blissful or astonishing moments. Remé's work opens a convincing new chapter in the painting of this century.Works in public collectionsMuseum Boymans-van Beuningen, RotterdamStedelijk Museum, AmsterdamGemeentemuseum, ArnhemMuseum von Moderne Kunst, StrassburgKunsthalle, NurembergMuseum Van Bommel Van Dam, VenloStadsgalerij, HeerlenMuseum Würth, Künzelsau
