From 1999 to 2004, she devoted herself to a Speyer performance group and the action art in public spaces.

life and work

Regina Reim studied painting at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz from 1988 to 1992 . During her studies, she decided to use abstraction as her artistic path. In 1991 their daughter Isabella was born. She obtained her diploma in 1992 from the painter Klaus Jürgen-Fischer .

After graduating from university, she opened a studio in Neustadt an der Weinstrasse in 1992 . From 1998 she integrated spiritual and religious aspects and themes into her painting and was increasingly inspired by music.

Regina Reim evades representational imagery and strives for an “abstract surrealism”. The art historian Ulrike Hauser-Suida sees Reims style as points of reference to American Expressionism . After mainly doing color etchings , she increasingly turned to painting.

In the years 1999 to 2004 she also devoted herself to the art of performance in public space with a Speyer performance group.

In her work, Reim is often inspired by music, for example in the 51- piece cycle "no permanent place" based on Johannes Brahms' work "A German Requiem" , which was created in 2000 and exhibited in Hamburg in 2001 and then in the Karlskirche in Zweibrücken . This way of working resulted in 31 color etchings inspired by Bach's Goldberg Variations .

Reim has lived in Speyer since 2001 . There she maintained her studio, initially in her old town apartment at 26 Kleine Pfaffengasse and later in the former graphic workshops of the old Klambt printing house on Alter Postweg Street, Speyer. In autumn 2011 Regina Reim moved into a studio in the city center at 20 Korngasse.

The art historian Ulrike Hauser-Suida wrote in 2006 about the importance of music in Regina Reim's work: “For Regina Reim, painting as a medium of expression for inner-physical processes always has to do with music and dance, it is an elementary process that converts impulses from music into movement, body and gesture work together as in dance. Despite all the spontaneity and speed of the act of painting, intellectual control and controlled chance remain important. "

The art historian Clemens Jöckle paid tribute to Reims art at a group exhibition of six artists who work with etchings as follows: “Regina Reim from Speyer builds up a tension between informal processes and the will to form in her untitled works. The artist seeks to unite opposites, dark and light, red and black and prominences light up in orange in some places. Translucent movements and opaque condensation create an arc of tension in the extreme landscape formats. Regina Reim seeks to create the contrast between the delimited two-dimensional and the flowing gestural based on the subjectively experienced design act and to increase the sound of colors as a direct expression of emotions to her artistic experience. "

Regina Reim is a member of the Professional Association of Visual Artists and of the Palatinate Artists Working Group .
