Louis Reith, NL

With an interest in printed matter, book design and handicraft Louis Reith (Hengelo, 1983) creates drawings, collages, paintings and installations.

Personal reminiscences and natural themes are translated into abstract compositions that play with the contrast between the mechanical and the natural and that balance the abstract and the figurative. Louis Reith graduated from AKIAcademy of Art and Design, Enschede in 2010 and lives in Zetten, The Netherlands.

Reith is known for his monochrome mystical landscape constructions andModernist-inspired geometrics. Influenced by architectural composition and reminiscent of the Bauhaus movement, who incorporated spirituality as part of their aesthetic process, Reith’s artist hand is subtly evident in a multimedia process that is both meticulous and delicate, as seen in his fine ink drawings, collaged shapes and re-valued images.
