A current resident of Amsterdam, Louis Reith is an incredibly talented artist who can turn old pieces of paper and maps into inventive pieces of art. I love when an artist can take an object and give it new meaning through subtle intervention, where you’re really seeing the object in a new light or situation, but you’re still aware of what it originally was.

The maps folded into mountains at the top are particularly lovely. The varying heights and subtle gradients of colors really work together. The subtractive work below is also incredible, bringing a sense of geometry and order to a photo of a fountain or a series of archways in a dense swamp. Great work overall, now I need to email Louis to see if I can afford one!
