Anselm Reyle

Untitled, 2005

Anselm Reyle’s art frequently impacts the spaces of its presentation garishly and aggressively. It’s cold neon color has the effect of being both attractive and aloof. Although Reyle does not disguise the material nature of his objects, his artistic revisions lead to an aesthetic blurring of their origin. Anselm Reyle’s multi-media œuvre is determined by aesthetic analyses of the everyday world on the one hand, and by the re-contextualization of the structures of abstract and minimalist art on the other. Large agricultural implements given a contemporary neon-orange finish are as much part of his art as the metal sheeting of Zero artists or the cubes and strips of the minimalists.
