Anselm Reyle

(German, born 1970)
Anselm Reyle is a contemporary German artist. Known for his work with found objects and the medium of the painting, he examines the notion of taste in contemporary art, remarking that “someone once said that my art always looks a bit like a film set, as if someone’s saying we need a bit of Modern Art in the background now.
