mario reis (1953)
Mario Reis is a German conceptual artist well known for his Nature series of watercolors.
He creates his works by immersing stretched canvases in various rivers around the world and allowing sediment to collect on the canvas over a period of time. The result is an amazing palette of browns, greens, grays, reds and blacks stacked in various textures, displaying the unique characteristics of each particular river and traces of flow. The finished works reveal a "watercolor" portrait of each river.
Mario Rice has collected "paintings" of various rivers in Europe, Japan, and America. Rice's works are in many museum collections in Europe, the United States, and Asia.
