Roger Reutimann
Swiss-American sculptor Roger Reutimann is working with contemporary materials like cast stainless steel and fiberglass to transform the inexhaustible subject of the human figure into present-day original and innovative works of art.
His semi-abstract sculptures are boldly colored and meticulously finished with high gloss automotive paints. Reutimann is interested in the purity of shapes, in simple geometric lines that are suggesting of the human form.
Influenced by artists like Moore, Brancusi and Arp he also finds inspiration in industrial and automotive design. Reutimann strongly believes in perfection. His disciplined upbringing, life-long piano practice and former careers in the fields of international art fairs and product design give the self-taught artist a unique perspective on art.
Reutimann explains: “I’m taking my sculptures to a different level, one that includes elements, which can’t be expressed by words. To me sculpture is like painting a thousand paintings, It adds another dimension in very permanent mediums, such that will last for generations. The third dimension in sculpture has a powerful impact on the observer, one that relates to our physical reality. It lets the artist play with different perspectives. I am not trying to solve the mystery of the human figure, but to deepen it”

DREAMS
A project of outstanding artistic commitment. To visualize the concept of not being in control of your own self and body in a dream, Reutimann designed nine sculptures in various stages of distortion. As viewers walks among the installation, they will see their own reflection in the mirror polished pedestals and consequently become part of the artwork as the distorted reflection of their own self is juxtaposed by the floating bodies of the sculptures.
