Scott Reeder American, b. 1970
Scott Reeder (b. 1970, USA) is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Chicago, illinois and Detroit, Michigan. Reeder uses simple forms in his paintings, sculptures, and installations, to address complex ideas and to deploy cultural critique.
Reeder works in a wide range of media, including public sculpture, painting, sculpture, neon, and installation. His public artworks have been exhibited extensively in cities such as Miamiand Chicago, and have received extensive coverage in the press, often sparking debate because of their multifaceted potential meanings.
His other subjects have included paintings of anthropomorphic objects, works that offer a critical reconsideration of the familiar and the mundane, and humorous references to iconic art historical works, as in “Cops Ascending a Staircase” (2009) (a reference to Marcel Duchamp’s most famous work).
More recently, Reeder has begun to make a seriesof spaghetti paintings, in which the silhouettes of various types of cooked and uncooked spaghetti are spray painted onto a surface in abstract compositions.

Style & Desire
Kavi Gupta | Berlin 14 May - 18 Jun 2011Kavi Gupta Gallery Berlin is proud to present Style & Desire, a new exhibition of painting, sculpture and collage. Is conceptualism actually distinct from expressionism? The process by which these categorizations come to be represented in art history is often so haphazard, similar to the clumsy means by which one decides what they feel from what they think. As a disfigured and fragmentary chapbook of contemporary style, Style & Desire is premised by the question of how reproduction and representation are related.Read more
