- Über das Werk:
In his current series of new paintings, the artist Anselm Reyle uses his canon of colors and materials developed over the years, consisting of elements such as neon colors, haptic textures, foils and found neon light elements, in a free abstract form. The element of materiality, which has been central to Anselm Reyle's artistic language since the beginning, is combined with a strong, dissonant colorfulness that can already be found in the artist's well-known stripe paintings. Reyle returns to the origins of his painting, whereby the artistic gesture takes on an elementary significance as a means of expression.

In the edition „Time“ developed 2021 exclusively for ZEIT to mark the 75th anniversary of the newspaper, Reyle revisits the splash of color that once served as a signature in the artist's strictly composed stripe paintings and became his trademark. Each of the high-quality reproductions, limited to 75 copies, has been reworked by the painter with dabs of pink and acrylic paint. Reyle's characteristic silver foil is further emphasized by a technique specially developed for the edition, which reproduces the haptic surface structure of the painting. Each sheet is therefore unique, numbered by hand and signed on the front. - Anselm Reyle

Anselm Reyle’s best-known works include his foil and stripe paintings as well as his sculptures. The characteristic of his artistic work is the use of various found objects that have been removed from their original function, altered visually, and recontextualized. Remnants of consumer society, discarded materials, symbols of urbanity, and industrial change play a central role in his oeuvre.
