|
Rick Reinert’s (b. 1955) formal art training took place at Western Kentucky University in the 1970’s and gave way to independent study resulting in various one-man shows in the 1980’s including Germany and Toronto, Canada which featured large, bold expressionistic work. Rick renewed his commitment to painting a number of years ago and since his work has reflected both his passion for expressing light and shadow in nature and surroundings while striving for purity in color and brushstoke. Reinert has achieved a unique and distinctive painting style because of constant self-teaching and study.
Recently, his painting “Ships of the Heartland” was a top 100 winner in the 2008 Paint American competition and he has been chosen as a featured artist in the Gadsden Museum of Art Southeastern Plein Air Festival, April 27th-May 1, 2009 in Gadsden, Alabama.
His work has been included in “Oil Painters of America” 2008 National Exhibition, of which he is also an associate member along with the American Impressionist Society. Reinert has been featured twice in “American Art collector Magazine” and the February 2009 edition of “Sunshine Artist” featured him as their cover story. He has won “Best of Show” and numerous place awards for his artwork which hangs in private and corporate collections in the most U.S. States, Europe, Canada, South America and Asia
