Lou Reed Sous La Douche (2013) Digital Arts by Denis Reitz

French artist. Lives and works in Paris. Admitted to the « Maison des artistes » since 1995, his activity as a visual artist is accompanied and supported by his work as a graphic designer-consultant working with major agencies of communication and publishing, where he confronts the technological evolutions in his search for the expressible colour.

Self-taught, he seeks his inspiration in the streets and gutters, and collects his materials on both shores of the Mediterranean: corroded metal, fragments of mechanisms, textured papers are for him as many fields of exploration and sensations.

Inspired by the artistic trends of the 1960’s: New Realism, Supports/Surfaces and The School of Nice, he practices an empirical technique of agglutination, with different media and binders, in search of reconstruction, semantic reminiscences, presences……

As a collagist, his masters in composing and assembling  are the great cubist surrealists (Georges Braque, Kurt Schwitters…) and for the papers, the posters of the 1960s (Jacques Villeglé, Herbert Brandl…).

The digital virtual allows him to experiment in electronic saturation, the extreme vibration of colours traditionally termed  "non-printable", to create a "Pop’Up" universe..
