Biography
Jens-Ole Remmers is a German artist born in 1981. He studied at the Academy of the Arts in Nuremberg and at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Palermo (Italiy).
A multitude of brief optical messages are gathered, surimposed, and become together a big colorful picture. Even if most of these bright cardboards are to be found in every supermarket, they don't usually catch the clients' attention. With these neglected packagings, the artist has found a gold mine: from the nuggets he collects here and there, he creates his own money, a pop and colorful currency.
The bright wolrd of "Brands" reminds of a show featuring "Pinklady", "Pambo" or "Fabio Antonelli". All these names could appear on a playlist of pop songs or in Hollywood films. In this way, the artist turns what's actually only a means - a package of cardboard printed with advertising and brands - to an end in itself through the piece of art.
