Bram Reijnders, born in 1974, is a contemporary artist who embarks on global expeditions to capture what he terms as "urban magic." Across six continents, Reijnders immerses himself in the pulse of modern life, absorbing its impressions and exhaling them as aesthetic manifestations in his art. His journey to becoming an artist was not without obstacles; after a successful stint as a young businessman, he felt a deep void within, eventually leading him to dedicate his life to art.
A pivotal moment occurred during a trip to Brazil, where Reijnders encountered a piece of art that ignited his passion. Inspired by this encounter, he delved into the world of art, living in the jungles of Brazil and later establishing himself in the Netherlands. Despite initial challenges, his talent soon gained recognition, leading to national television appearances and successful exhibitions.
Reijnders' artistic process is rooted in action, often involving the collection of materials from urban environments around the world. He manipulates these materials to create textured artworks that juxtapose ripped posters with contemporary themes, inviting viewers to "undress our adulthood" and embrace the beauty found within chaos.
His work transcends mere observation, aiming to engage with contemporary society on a deeper level. Through photography and mixed media, Reijnders explores the complexities of our post-modern world, leaving space for interpretation and introspection. Rather than preach a new gospel, he acts as a playful bridge between worlds, inviting viewers to join him on a journey through the jungle of joy that is his art.
