For the artist Rick Reimert (Rik Reimert) You don't need anything but ink, a sheet of paper and six to eight hours of free time to create a realistic portrait of a famous person - be it genre movie star Danny Trejo or great soul singer Isaac Hayes. Reimert successfully sells his drawings and calls himself an adherent of "analog art".
Opponent of the intrusion of "numbers" into the realm of visual media, Reimert says he is a consistent advocate of "analog" in everything "from music to photography and art." "Yes, of course, I, like everyone else, use a computer and a mobile phone. But isn't it a pleasure to put the needle of a vinyl player on a record on Sunday morning and enjoy its light rustle, while looking at the beautiful cover?" … It is not surprising that a significant place in his cycle of drawings is given to musicians: from the hero of the soul genre Isaac Hayes to the ex-leader The police Sting.
Reimert makes his drawings exclusively with branded technical pens - "ink liners" from the German brand Rotring - Rotring Rapidograph … The artist prefers the thinnest rods with a diameter of 0.2 to 0.8 millimeters.
Celebrities often become objects of interest from representatives of contemporary art. Readers of Kulturologia.ru will surely immediately remember the original works of the photographer. Maurizio Galimberti - collector of "living mosaics" - and the author of funny collages Steve Payne … Rick Reimert carefully reproduces the facial features of his famous "heroes", while not focusing too much on them. The main attention of the viewer still has to concentrate on the figure of the artist - his discerning taste in regard to technical means and masterfully precise hand.
