About the artist:
Remé was born in Danzig in 1941 at a time of student uprisings, wars and assassination attempts. The travels he will make in his later life are an important source of inspiration. After his artistic wanderings, he decided in 1968 to want to make his own contribution to modern art. To create your own image that has never been made before. In Sardinia, a head eventually emerges from his brushstrokes. 'The head as storage space for the human soul and intelligence'. Later, an amorphous image is created with an ever-expanding torso with progressively more human proportions. It is the birth of the Remian figure. Characteristic are the clear division of surfaces. Sharply delineated shapes and figures together form the dream world he has created. His work is full of iconographic meanings. Umbilical cords, taps, water and springs populate his drawings and pastels. Later on, tropical plant shapes and fantasy animals emerge. Old symbols in a new jacket.
Jorg Remé's work can be found in museums at home and abroad, including the Boymans-van Beuningen in Rotterdam and the museum of modern art in Strassburg. Dozens of catalogs of his work appeared. In 1977 he won a 1st prize for painting in Knokke-Heist in Belgium.

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 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 breaks the traditional laws of anatomy and naturalistic imitation, and connects the formal language of the entire history of art with 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 'figures of art' with the plastic spaces of the major movements of modern art - from the 'metaphysicists' 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, thereby building a bridge to the visual language of non-Western cultures, especially those of India and South America. He thus broadened the perspective of his ambition as a painter. Remé explores a completely unique and immediately recognizable world of imagination, opening up unprecedented possibilities for contemporary painting. In his work he creates emotional relationships between his 'figures of art' and the animated spaces they inhabit; in these spaces a synthesis of landscape and architectural motifs has been achieved. In this way he realizes a new and original vision of the inexhaustible expressiveness of the pictorial tradition, and allows the great cultures of the past and at the same time the achievements of modern art to resonate in his work. oeuvre within the grand narrative 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 canvases he evokes sublime figures and shapes, as they can appear to us in blissful or astonishing moments. Remé's work opens a convincing new chapter in this century's painting.
