For the “LIVING GODS" series, Reinar Foreman was inspired by Antiquity. The painter seeks to reinterpret myths by updating them. Halfway between figurative art and abstraction, he shows the powerful, sometimes severe, nature of human emotions, with simplified but vibrant shapes and colors. This complex vision of ancient mythology gives Foreman's paintings a particular magic, while his sources of inspiration are world-famous: the composition of Apollo and Daphne refers to Bernini's famous sculpture at the Galleria Borghese, while the construction of The Rape of the Sabine is reminiscent of that of Renaissance master Gianbologna.

On custom-made canvases, stretched backwards to achieve the roughest texture desired by the artist, bare backgrounds juxtaposed with bursts of color create unique textures and leave strong impressions, while color combinations are based on unusual contrasts — green and pink, yellow and brown.

As Foreman himself likes to explain: “I place a lot of emphasis on movement, my images are often destabilizing, and I work on them quickly. I don't draw, I don't use projectors or anything like that and, in fact, I'm always experimenting and seeing what works. I paint a lot and don't hesitate to destroy works or repaint them. I'm not a god, and I need to try a lot before I succeed in what I want to create.".

Reinar Foreman, Head of Daphne in Red (triptych)
Iceland  • 1993

Presentation

Reinar Foreman, born in 1993, is a self-taught artist who began to define himself as such at the age of 22. He decided to get into art motivated by his parents. After a trip to South America, he painted his first portrait, which was quickly sold. Thanks to this first sale, he could invest in canvases and materials to launch his painting career. 

His universe is made of a palette of brilliant and almost artificial colors, with the notable influence of Francis Bacon, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol. He highlights the role of pink in his work, emphasizing its aggressiveness and the way it provokes the audience. His paintings overflow with intensity: in the boldness of colors, shapes, and contrast between his silhouettes and the space in which they are located.

After having been exhibited in several galleries in Europe (Reykjavik, Berlin, Moscow), Foreman is now establishing his presence internationally. His works have entered several private collections.

Past Exhibitions:

2015 Independent show, Reykjavik

2016 Independent show, Hafnarfjoerdur,Iceland

2017 Independent show, Hafnarfjoerdur, Iceland

2019 “Blur", solo show, SevenStar Gallery, Berlin

2020 “Monstera", solo show, Fine Art Gallery, Moscow
