Biography
At the age of 16, Rein de Lege started studying at ‘Rijks-academie Amsterdam, School of Art (1971 – 1975). He ran through the classic education of drawing and painting with special attention to model drawing. In 1977 he changed to ‘academie Minerva' in Groningen (1977 – 1980) where he continued his education. Besides drawing and painting, he focused on graphical art: etching and lithography.
After visiting Barcelona on a holiday in 1978, Rein de Lege became so fascinated by the life in the streets and the bars of the ‘barrio chino’ ( in reality it never was a quarter for Chinese people to live...) that after several visits over the years he decided to take up permanent residence in the capital of Catalonia (1988) where he continues to live to this day. The drawings of the lively neighbourhood in the old part of the town has always been very inspiring and still has an echo in his current works.
