Bram Reijnders: The Beauty of Change

The coffee table book "Bram Reijnders: The Beauty of Change," which publisher Mokumo is publishing in collaboration with Bram Reijnders early next year, is a bombastic compilation of the colorful work of the enfant terrible of the international art world.

Bram Reijnders (b. 1974) captures "urban magic" during his global expeditions. Active on six continents, Reijnders is, in his own words, primarily concerned with inhaling the impressions of our time and exhaling them as an aesthetic manifestation in his art. His oeuvre originates in the soul of the artist who, overloaded with the contemporary flow of information, constantly absorbs the noise in search of the essence and spirit of our time.

Reijnders' oeuvre arises from action: the simple act of tearing posters off walls at night in various cities, which he later uses as the basis for his artwork. He processes these thick layers of curled paper by chopping and burning them. His work contains a lot of contrast: the torn pieces of billboards combined with youthful themes and a smooth, lush finish. Reijnders invites us to "undress our adulthood" and enjoy the beauty that emerges from his images. By decontextualizing these pieces of reality and adding new urban images, pop culture and mass consumption items. In this way, Reijnders sees art more as an action than a story. He calls it the magic of the studio: things happen that you can't predict, it's like a laboratory.
