Magali Reus
Born in The Hague, The Netherlands, 1981 / Lives and works in London, UK

Magali Reus’s sculptures are accumulations of images and things – she draws on objects she finds around her, recombining them into something strange and unfamiliar. Although a keen observer of the physical world, Reus avoids using readymade objects, instead each element of her sculptural jigsaws has been meticulously fabricated using a mixture of technological and traditionally craft-based techniques. Colours, materials, textures, sizes, shapes are all manipulated, throwing everyday habits of association into disarray, inviting the viewer to question the way objects may take on – or shed – meanings.


“I’m interested in how… a simple form can generate an immediate chain of associations – people, places, smells, sounds.” Magali Reus
