The exhibition INBOX by MAX VON TREU and artist OSKAR RINK presents new photographic work by the fashion photographer created in collaboration with the artist Oskar Rink. The body of work marks the continuation of their previous collaboration during the pandemic. A selection of this work is also on display in the exhibition.
The body of work also places geometrical shapes at the center of events in the image and becomes an expression of the human search for new places of longing. It tells the story of dramatic social and personal experiences which inspire the need for reorientation in life. Influences that affect people on a daily basis and thus impact their goals and the path they choose.
Born in Leipzig, Oskar Rink studied Fashion Design and Illustration at l’Ecole Supérieure des Arts et techniques de la Mode in Munich and received a master’s degree from Sotheby’s Institute of Art, Contemporary Art Department in London. Since childhood, she and her father, Arno Rink, have engaged in an in-depth exchange of ideas on the creative process of an artist with regard to painting, form and color. Following various periods of residence in England, Norway, Cuba and the US, the artist now lives and works in Leipzig and Lisbon. Since 2022, Oskar Rink has held a guest professorship for painting at Burg Giebichenstein in Halle (Saale).
