Ill do me. I need some one to touch my brain. I need someone to make a smoothy of my mind, stirring it all up. Ripping apart all my previously build up memories, skills and prejudice’s. Leaving me lobotomised, drooling nothing then pure ignorance of my previous self. Leaving me care free to appreciate everything again.

Andreas Reutz, born in 1986 and based in Oslo, is a Norwegian artist in painting, design, and 3D art. His work is conceptually driven, often exploring gender, sexuality, and existentialism through figurative and abstract forms.

Reutz’s art is experimental and closely connected to the digital world. It is inspired by the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, which embraces imperfection and transience.

Reutz describes his creative process as an emotional journey, where creativity flows naturally but can be controlled. He believes that true creativity requires a balance between emotional highs and lows, and this tension drives his work forward. His personal experiences of feeling like a chameleon—fitting in without fully belonging—shape his storytelling style. For Reutz, art is about authenticity, and he draws from his own life to create genuine works.

A key moment in Reutz’s life was when he confronted his fear of the dark while alone in the forest. This experience taught him that fear—and creativity—is largely a product of the mind. This insight has shaped his approach to art, where he embraces the unknown and challenges boundaries.

What makes Andreas Reutz interesting as an artist is his ability to blend personal experiences with broader social issues while maintaining a playful ambiguity. His work challenges conventional thinking about gender and identity using traditional and digital media, making him a relevant voice in contemporary art.
