"In his work, Rickenmann seeks to rescue the character, personality and strength of banal things and the environment. Although urban spaces are recurrent in his drawings, Rickenmann also shows a particular interest in the natural landscape. They are beautiful and silent drawings, meticulously crafted, that situate us in the place, that make us live in the moment. His work does not pursue photorealism or hyperrealism. In his drawings, spaces and things are created again, and have a prominence and a presence which, in a certain way, gives them life. There is certainly realism in his drawings, but this responds to the characteristics of things, their presence, their particular aesthetics.

Charcoal, for its part, is evocative. It’s warm and intense tones make you think of old photographs, of memories. Rickenmann walks and observes things, taking photographs – physical and mental – of what is relevant or singularly banal. He also uses images from the internet because, for the most part, they also respond to a particular impulse and interest, but hidden in anonymity. The resulting drawing is the combination of many of these images, and relived moments."
