From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michael Reisch (born 1964) is a German artist[1][2] and photographer.[3] Reisch exhibited nationally and internationally.[4] His works are included in collections worldwide, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, USA and National Gallery of Scotland Edinburgh, Scotland.[5][6] His works combine aspects of documentary photography, painting and sculpture. He lives in Düsseldorf.

Early life and education

[edit]

Reisch was born in Aachen.[7] He studied at "Stadsacademie voor toegepaste Kunsten" Maastricht in 1985 and at Gerrit Rietveld Academie, Amsterdam 1986 – 91. 1991 he was enrolled in postgraduate studies at Kunstakademie Düsseldorf with Bernd Becher.

Career

[edit]

In 1990 Reisch was Artist in Residence at the Foundation Cartier in Paris. He created a series of works, "architectures", between 1991 and 2004, which depict mainly architecture of the 1970s. In 2002 he received a scholarship from the Foundation Kunst und Kultur des Landes Nordrheinwestfalen. Between 2002 and 2006, Reisch worked on a body of work titled "landscapes". His second group of works, "new landscapes", were created from 2007 to 2010, after he received a scholarship from Stiftung Kunstfonds in Bonn.[8] Since 2010 Reisch has combined fully digitally generated abstract works with landscape photography in his exhibitions.

Reisch's works are large-sized photographs, often highly processed by digital editing techniques.[9][10] He uses these techniques to erase civilizing signs and marks from the buildings photographed.
