Ben Reyer (b. 1985) lives and works as a visual artist in Vienna. His practice moves between collage, painting, objects, and clothing. At the core is a large archive of

comics, vintage magazines, posters, and art and photography books that he has been collecting since his youth. These materials serve both as source material and as

inspiration for his art. From them, he creates works that reassemble everyday images, brand logos, and visual codes, shifting them into new contexts of meaning.

Reyer’s perspective on contemporary life is marked by social critique and subversive humor. By combining collage, painting, object-making, and unique clothing pieces,

he expands the Pop Art tradition into a contemporary practice in which art, consumption, and fashion flow seamlessly into one another.

His works have been shown in numerous exhibitions, art fairs, and projects in Austria and abroad. Reyer’s art combines conceptual clarity with intuitive image-making,

weaving together nostalgia and the present, critique and comedy, to reveal both the absurdity and the mythologies of everyday life.
