About

Henrik Reimes was born in the Black Forest, in the far south-west of Germany, near the borders with France and Switzerland. After beginning his artistic practice with a focus on printmaking, drawing and painting, he turned his attention to conceptual and site-specific projects that explore everyday phenomena and oscillate between documentary and poetic levels.

After graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart in 2018, he moved to Brussels, where he soon returned to studio-based artistic production, on which he has focused since his return to Stuttgart in 2021. Alongside sculptural works – such as a series of salt dough objects exhibited at the Durchbruchfestival in the church of ‘St. Maria als’ – it is above all abstract painting that currently occupies him.

In doing so, he prefers to work in series, each dedicated to new and unique realms of possibility for various ideas, methods and styles. These may revolve around formal questions such as specific colour combinations or image formats, but may also flirt with proto-figurative associations, such as the ‘wanted’ series created in 2024, with its leitmotif of ‘heads’.

Henrik Reimes lives and works in Stuttgart.
