Anys Reimann

Anys Reimann (*1965) is one of the shooting stars of the art scene in Düsseldorf.

Reimann works with collage, painting and sculpture, often simultaneously, in layers, in hints, with superimpositions. Her pictures sometimes emerge intuitively and emotionally, sometimes from a concrete cultural-historical or pop-cultural motif – but often also from a free, associative process in which feelings and thoughts are expressed physically. The results are multi-layered pictorial figures – idiosyncratic, beautiful, vulnerable, ironic or melancholic creatures reminiscent of fairy-tale characters, archetypes, dreams. Or of ourselves.

‘Fresh from the Aquarius source of inspiration in the truest sense of the word.’ With these words, Anys Reimann describes the starting point of her new exhibition Dawn of Aquarius – a journey through inner and outer worlds of images, through longing, memory and transformation.

Ralph Goertz met the artist during the set up of her show ANYS REIMANN. DAWN OF AQUARIUS (11 Apr - 17 May) at VAN HORN Gallery.
