AD Germany commissioned Robert RIEGER c/o EMEIS DEUBEL to portray Oskar Rink, who lives in Leipzig, in her studio apartment for the #thirtysomething series.
As an artist, she spends a lot of time in her studio. So she transformed the spacious industrial hall into a cozy loft. “I love the blend of fantasy and reality, and create dream worlds with my work : When I paint on a large canvas, it feels as if I could really walk into an image. Why I react to shapes and spaces in the way I do, well that’s something I am still exploring myself,” the artist tells AD.
Oskar is the daughter of painter and President of the Academy of Visual Arts Leipzig who passed in 2017, and practically spent her childhood in his art studio. He is considered a trailblazer and teacher of what is referred to as the Leipzig School.
“I often humanize objects : Chairs are friends. When I am sitting in the studio chair of my father, I am always closer to him than in the cemetery.” You can read the interview as always via the link below.
