Anselm Reyle
It’s vital to me that my work is accessible to a wide audience
Anselm Reyle (1970, Germany) is a visual artist known for his often-large-scale abstract paintings and found-object sculptures which incorporate unconventional materials such as Mylar foil and mirrors. His work is characterised by the use of various found objects that have been removed from their original function, altered visually, and recontextualised.
Initially interested in landscape design and music, Reyle later developed his own varied approach to art, adopting a pictorial practice involving large abstract works that blur the line between painting and sculpture. Material experimentation is the cornerstone of the artist’s practice, which combines aluminium, mirrors and neon lights. His work, whose vibrant spontaneity contrasts with its technical complexity, references various currents within abstract art across the 20th century.
