BIOGRAPHY
Through figurative oil paintings, works on paper, and sculpture, Andy Rementer depicts anything and everything he sees around him and condenses it into his brightly colourful yet mysterious visual world. His statue-esque characters hold a host of feelings that seem to suspend emotion while inviting the viewer into various pensive moments. Rementer enjoys observing ordinary life while reducing what he sees using a few details and carefully placed essential elements from his imagination.
