Magali Reus
1981 , DutchMagali Reus produces sculptures by assembling common objects, such as no-parking signs or locks, into brand new and unfamiliar forms. Although she is attuned to the physical world, Reus avoids using pre-existing objects and instead meticulously fabricates each component of her sculptures using a combination of traditional and modern techniques. Working in series, she explores and expands upon the cultural and physical properties of these objects, forging connections between the sculptures and their physicality. Manipulating colours, materials, textures, and shapes, Reus disrupts typical associations and employs a mixture of digital design and traditional sculpting techniques that involve various materials like aluminum, steel, and resin.
