Ben Reyer is a Vienna-based visual artist, born in the US in 1985. At the core of his practice is a vast personal archive of comics, vintage magazines, and advertising ephemera collected since childhood. From this material, he builds collages, paintings, objects, and clothing that remix brand logos and visual codes of consumer culture — always laced with a sharp dose of humor. He presented a duo show with Rudolf Fitz at the Jan Arnold Gallery and participated in the Living Studio residency at MuseumsQuartier Vienna.

Living Studio Ed. 1 is a risograph print created during the Living Studio residency at MuseumsQuartier Vienna (frei_raum Q21, 2018), where 17 artists worked on site for two weeks in a public studio setting. The image — a hand emerging from a pistol, haloed in yellow — captures Reyer’s signature collage language: found imagery recombined into surreal, loaded compositions that channel the spirit of Dada and John Heartfield.
