Werner Reister
Werner Reister (* 1943 in Pforzheim ) is a German goldsmith and visual artist.
He completed an apprenticeship in goldsmithing in Pforzheim and studied painting and jewelry design at the art and craft school from 1960 to 1963 . This was followed by an apprenticeship as a graphic draftsman at a publishing house and studying painting at the Berlin School of Fine Arts . From 1970 to 1973 he belonged to the Berlin artists' cooperative KWARZ, which worked “in contrast to critical realism ” and demonstrated “the totally open horizon, the non-binding nature of the styles, the free availability of the concepts designed in the 1960s”. Between 1975 and 2009 he conducted international workshops for artists for Goethe-Instituts in various parts of the world. Reister lives in Berlin and Baitz (Hoher Fläming).
To this day, Reister maintains a style in his pictures that comes from abstraction, sometimes uses collage-like techniques, accordingly also includes representational and written items, but remains sparing in the means that reveal their origin in graphics. This minimalist attitude is also characteristic of his sculptures and jewelry.
