When Anselm Reyle’s gallerist first showed his work,
the response to his striped paintings and neon-lit wheel
sculptures was scorn and derision. Today, ten years later,
the Berlin-based son of a doctor and heavy metal fan from
southwestern Germany belongs to the absolute crème de la
crème of European contemporary art. Reyle mines modernity
like a quarry, supplying him with countless inspirations which he,
in turn, through the use of spray-paint, iridescent plastic foil,
and similar tools, reinserts into the artistic discourse – in a
Warholian tradition.
