In the lead-up to his current solo exhibition, PARADISE, we visited Anselm Reyle in his Berlin studio where the artist discussed his unique trajectory through the history of both abstract painting and underground music in the 1980s. The mixture of the two has provided fertile ground for Reyle’s use of discarded materials, found objects, and neon light sources, all of which take new shape in the exhibition, which features entirely new workgroups – large mirrored sculptures, photo-based images, and neon sculptures that look as if they had been written in space.
