Anselm Reyle is incredible. He was born in Berlin and is known for his abstractions and use of found objects. He uses color and minimalism in this amazing, harmonious, glorious way. His combined media of shiny, glowing, colorful things that also light up is mind-blowing and it's messing with my senses.
The way Reyle uses different materials is something I'm really taking into consideration. His use of seemingly everyday objects in such a big way is really awesome. The tinfoil and cellophane for examples.
"By reifying the cast-off material culture that surrounds him, he indicates its shifting signification in a country that has had such seismic effects on the social and political developments of the twentieth century." This comment about Reyle's work is based on the way he uses bits and pieces that he finds in flea-markets and other odd shops and makes them into fine art. Fine art that sells at six figures. eyo! One of Reyle's pieces was the inside of a bomb shelter that he covered in large strips of bright neon colors, transforming the place into something beautiful.
This is a blog I found that has all these great abstract artists:
