About himself:
Rene Rietmeyer ('s-Hertogenbosch, 1957) is a Dutch artist and the initiator of the international art project Personal Structures.
Rietmeyer studied psychology from 1979 to 1984 in Innsbruck, Austria. In 1986 he founded an art school in Greece where he was director until 1994. After a period in which he mainly made figurative paintings, Rietmeyer continued to develop. From 1997 he makes installations that he calls "Boxes". These "Boxes" are generally three-dimensional, often painted objects.
Since 1996 Rietmeyer has exhibited his work in various museums and galleries in Europe, Japan and the United States.
Rietmeyer's "Boxes" originate from Minimalism. In contrast to this art movement, Rietmeyer expresses his personal experiences. Time, space and existence are important themes in his work. In 2003, Rietmeyer initiated the art platform Personal Structures, with the aim of addressing these themes.
