Reyle Anselm, *1970 (Tübingen, Germany) Lives in Berlin, works with painting, sculpture and installation. Untitled (for Otto Freundlich),2007 Metal, acrylic glass, 9,500 x 4,100 x 20 cm For the central light shaft at Soodring 33, Anselm Reyle has created a large-format installation of metal and coloured Plexiglas, which evokes associations not only with church windows but also with the aesthetics of advertising. The monumental installation toys with the rigorous idiom of abstraction and uses colour and light to link indoors and outdoors. Reyle embraces the decorative element as an important feature of his work: “I have very affirmative feelings in that respect. I used to be criticized for being decorative. I’ve tried to exploit that. Instead of thinking the effect is bad, I say to myself, ‘the effect exists and this is what it does’.” |

Reyle Anselm, *1970 (Tübingen, Germany) Lives in Berlin, works with painting, sculpture and installation. Untitled,2004 Acrylic on canvas, 227 x 332 cm © Anselm Reyle Reyle belongs to an emerging generation of artists concerned with reevaluating Modernism by using the formal vocabulary of modern abstraction such as op art, monochromes and action painting. Yet he eschews his post-modern predecessors' self-conscious irony and instead employs painterly gestures, as if they were a ready-made vocabulary disassociated from its original context. His play with the liberated language of Modernism questions its present-day applicability. Contrasts of fluorescent paint, metallic silver and glitter evoke disco glamour as a marker for current culture and its subcultures while maintaining Modernism's formal vocabulary. His use of this seemingly obsolete language with unlikely referential colour schemes upsets the balance of purity and clarity to deliberately disconcerting effect. |
