I really enjoy the minimal approach Thomas Rentmeister uses in his artwork. Rentmeister “over uses” a particular item, allowing the mass quantity of his chosen material, become the main voice of the artwork.
Rentmeister’s works take as their subject the uncritical hedonism of our time. He questions the vulnerability of existence and verifies art’s claim to perpetuity, finality and clarity. At the same time, the concept of pleasure also plays a pivotal role in his large-scale works.
