Reinhard Schmid — Dropping 4/16 🔥

Reinhard Schmid is a German-born, fine artist. His unique style commonly involves a laborious method of reverse glass painting know as Hinterglas, and spans both figurative and surreal works, that blend a whimsical and erotic feel with a touch of humor. Over the last 30 years Reinhard’s works have been showcased globally, including the New York Art Expo in the early 90s. Today, many of his physical artworks can be found in private collections and galleries across Europe, US and Japan.

Reinhard Schmid is also an early pioneer of Rare Digital Art. Since joining MakersPlace in 2018 as one of our first artists, his works quickly became widely recognized across the community and is one of the most sought after artists. Reinhard’s digital works commonly start from his vast collection of physical works, and involve an intricate digital re-mastering of the many layers and stages of his physical pieces, to bring to life a new meaning and narrative.

Book of Revelation

Reinhard’s newest piece is easily his most elaborate and intricate digital creation ever made. One can say that this piece is a culmination of every aspect of Reinhard’s artistic journey, giving way to a digital masterpiece. Like many of his rare digital artworks, this piece takes from his original hinterglas works and is intricately digitized, to create a piece inspired by the “Book of Revelation”, from the apocalypse of John. Reinhard contends that the inspiration for this piece came far before the current apocalyptic outlook of late, but is fitting and will undoubtedly strike a strong chord.
