Reyle is a German artist who uses old, recycled objects to create new sculptures and large scale paintings. His famous works include using neon lights, coloured material and metals.
I came across his work when on a trip to The Saatchi Gallery in London. The untitled sculpture above caught my attention when I entered the room as the light emitted from it was very bright and colourful.
Later on, i researched his work and found that he created 'Project Painting by Numbers', which uses the mapping to create large scale paintings. This was inspired by his childhood as he wasn't allowed to play with such methods. Reyle leaves certain areas clear of paint, and fills others with different material and texture to create an abstract image that you wouldn't necessarily associate with Painting by Numbers.
"When I only pick out one detail from the motive it is possible to focus on the material and get back to the abstract image. This is a detail form the eye, so if you see the whole motive it is possible to recognize the detail"
