Zebra

Dieter Rehm (b. 1955 in Memmingen) doesn't fit into one single system or one single strategy. However, all of his paintings have the same oscillating aesthetic and documentary character that is owed neither to assembly nor to digital image editing. The changes in colour are the effect of expired films. Thus the pictures which are based on reality - like the zebra by the pool - become complex atmospheric representations with a purely seemingly unreal background. Dieter Rehm lives and works in Munich, Germany, and is President of the Academy of Fine Arts since 2010.
