Helge Reumann’s work has been published by various publishers, from Rouergue to UDA, via L’Association, Le Dernier Cri. or Buenaventura. In Black Medicine Book. through his most recent works (paintings, casts and drawings), the whole universe of Reumann unfolds here, a world full of tension and violence, physical violence when hordes of thugs attack, armed studded bats or bladed weapons. And then there is this mental violence too, the one that washes the brains and annihilates free will, which creates fanaticism and breeds even more violence… If there is often humor, there is little hope in Reumann’s images, and the hordes of anonymous madmen who cross these landscapes as colorful as they are desolate seem to whisper to us that if hell exists, it is populated by demons with human faces. Introduction by Charles Burns, preface by Christian Rosset.
