Selected paintings 2008 - 2011
As yet untitled 2011 Detail
Being primarily a sculptor, I’m really into texture, tone and physical form. As a ruleI’m not usually that inspired by bright colours and bold shapes - to the extent that I once got into an argument with a Mexican artist over the use of colour (we no-longer speak). Remi however, is the exception to this rule. I don’t know whybut I can’t help but admire his work. The boy’s got a distinctive style and pallet. He didn’t create the colours he uses – he just stole them and made them his own.It’s got to the point now that whenever I see another artist using certain colours I think ‘oh, that’s a Remi colour’.
Yves Klein might have his blue but Remi’s got his blue and his orange. And he’s verygood with orange.
