Dutch artist Louis Reith is known for his monochrome mystical landscape constructions and Modernist-inspired geometrics. Influenced by architectural composition and reminiscent of the Bauhaus movement, who incorporated spirituality as part of their aesthetic process, Reith’s artist hand is subtly evident in a multimedia process that is both meticulous and delicate, as seen in his fine ink drawings, collaged shapes and re-valued images.

Through an early journey as a graphic designer in Belgium Reith developed a love for printed matter and, in his time with Flemish artists, an understanding of the lyrical craft in arts; the functional aesthetic and the sensitive narrative. This merging of elements informs his approach to the technical aspects of form and the mythical qualities of the handmade.

Since 2013 Reith has owned Jordskred, a publishing platform with which he joined the Dutch Independent Art Book Publishers (DIABP) collective in 2017. He is also co-organiser and designer at Grafixx, an annual festival for graphic arts in Antwerp, Belgium, and a permanent lecturer at AKI Academy of Art and Design in Enschede, The Netherlands.
