Winfred Rembert

Winfred Rembert is the only artist in this group who did not have formal artistic training and yet his work stands on it's own. He is unique for another reason he is the only artist, that I know, who paints on leather that has been tooled into a three dimensional landscape. He learned the tooling of leather while incarcerated in the Georgia State Penitentiary in the late 1960s but it wasn't until 1997 that he turned his attention to depicting scenes from his childhood. It was trial and error until he found the right mixture of paints that would stand out in his leather paintings. Rembert's paintings are reminiscences of his growing up in rural Cuthbert, Georgia. Each painting tells a vivid story of specific people, events, and places that Rembert wishes to document for future generations.
