Anselm Reyle (*1970) studied painting in Karlsruhe and Stuttgart. He lives and works in Berlin. Anselm Reyle is known for his images, reliefs and sculptures, which he creates in an experimental process deploying materials like PVC film, car body paint, putty, acrylic, mirrors concrete and LED lights. Found objects—the painterly gestures and motifs of other painters, everyday objects or sculptures—play a major role in both his paintings and his sculptures. He appropriates these—not least in order to evoke the cliches associated with them and to exaggerate them. Anselm Reyle has been a professor of Painting at the HFBK Hamburg since 2009.

His works have been shown in numerous institutional solo exhibitions, including Andersen’s, Copenhagen (2025), Ron Mandos Gallery, Amsterdam (2025), MoCA Westport (2023), Kunsthalle Vogelmann, Heilbronn (2022), Aranya Art Centre, Qinhuangdao (2020), Deichtorhallen, Hamburg, (2012), Schinkel Pavillon, Berlin (2012); The Arken Museum of Modern Art, Ishoj, (2011), Des Moines ArtCenter, Iowa, (2011), Kunsthalle Tübingen (2009), and Kunsthalle Zurich, (2006).
