Eddie Rehm's "Incoherent Chaotic Thoughts Of An Unorganized Therapeutic Mental Reimbursement Of Closure"

"Incoherent Chaotic Thoughts of an Unorganized Therapeutic Mental Reimbursement of Closure," Rehm says. There are moments in a person’s life that will forever change the way they perceive the world and themselves in it. The startling realization of emotions and feelings that seem to only be accompanied by pain or loss. A reevaluation or introverted soul trip that has one not being able to see the first letter of clarity, "C." The impetus behind the exhibit is simple, "spectrums of mass confusion with a touch of aesthetic closure." Although the chaotic, epigrammatic work will transcend identifiability in each viewers own visceral account. (Results May Vary) However, Eddie Rehm's works are insistently his. Rehm's paintings are often driven by a mixed consciousness, internal and external views on a topic co-mingling on the canvas. They are created in the relative solitude of the artist’s process, but the public consideration and consumption of their vision and soul-laid-bare emotion are what make a show like this one special. We sense his conflicts embedded in the abstraction, and his paintings radiate an intense masculine virility, even anger, or as he terms it "belligerence." This belligerence represents not just an internal struggle, but also reflects his views on society and his own life.
