Rasmus Rinhack’s universe is full of dynamic energies, visual surprises, and untraditional combinations. In the midst of it all though, the struggle between opposite movements is lurking: fantasy and that and those, who are trying to break it. A contradiction with roots dating back to romanticism, a period in human history where freedom of the individual and the right to express oneself the way one wanted, faced the empowered and the authority’s attempt to undermine it. To the period where the appreciation of fantasy seriously kicked in. The artist’s creativity was now valued higher than old dead teachings and rote learning. Although Rasmus Rinhack is a young artist, who is obviously inspired by history, it is this very old conflict, that drives his art: the struggle between fantasy and power. The fight against lost imagination, the conformity, the destruction of nature, and the blind exercise of power is the very core in Rasmus Rinhack’s art universe. When the struggle seems hopeless, it is the art pieces themselves, the lively imagination, they express, which could be the answer. The creativity, the free expression’s overpowering force as reformists of society? Who knows? It appears that Rasmus Rinhack argues exactly that. And hope. Tom Jørgensen Master in History of Art
