Magali Reus
Born in 1981 in La Hague, Pays-Bas
In her artistic approach, Magali Reus focuses both on the beauty of things and the place they occupy in an industrial and domestic world. Her observations focus on various objects which, because they are part of our daily lives, no longer attract our attention. She isolates certain elements of these ready-made objects and reconfigures them to bring about a new entity. These plates, glasses, or rolls of toilet paper form the starting point of an immediate chain of associations. Shapes, colours, sounds, and possible movements naturally become part of the creative process. The result is a sculpture made up of several layers, which are themselves formed by the assembly of various materials, whether recovered or manufactured.
Born in 1981 in The Hague, Magali Reus studied art at Goldsmiths College in London and at the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten in Amsterdam. She lives and works in London.
