Reimer, Joseph: - Joe Reimer, hailing from Alberta, Canada, is a full-time artist, photographer and teacher who works in a variety of styles, mediums and subject matter. Having several artistic passions allows Joe to keep his work fresh and new, while still maintaining a high level of quality and mastery. Joe is also well known for his abstract portrait portfolio. His philosophy for these striking portraits is to only add detail to the essential components of the face, while completely abstracting the rest of the image. These pieces are full of movement and energy, conveying very strong, powerful emotions. He is drawn to the notion of capturing the messiness of our humanity and finding beauty in places we wouldn't normally think to look for it.
