THE ROCKSTAR

Live artist

Bram Reijnders

Anyone who has ever experienced Bram Reijnders in the flesh at a vernissage knows what to expect. The artist is always good for a surprise and knows how to amaze his audience with original ideas and unexpected interludes. This, too, shows that the Dutchman is a true multi-talent whose works are thoroughly authentic, extravagant and autobiographical. One who, in a sense, allows himself to be driven: both by life and by art. This attitude towards life and understanding of art is expressed again and again in his works. The message is: "Feel free - we keep moving, nothing stands still". The depictions play with fictitious parallel worlds of beautiful appearances, of dreams and illusions that are ironically broken. The viewer is in the middle of it all and asks himself the question: what is still reality and where does the illusion begin? The powerful color palette makes the works literally explode, reviving the spirit of Pop Art, as the works radiate energy and rebellion.
