About Bram Reijnders: Art from the Streets at Night
Bram Reijnders is a Dutch artist whose practice begins not in the studio but on the streets — roaming the city at night to tear posters from walls, gathering the layered, weathered remnants of public communication as the raw material for his work.
The Technique: Décollage
These fragments — what he calls "urban jungle leftovers," the physical residue of messages, information, and protest left by the city's inhabitants — are then refined by chopping and burning, combined with paint and glazes, and assembled into works of considerable visual complexity and cultural charge. Décollage — the practice of tearing, cutting, or removing layers from an existing surface — was first developed in France by artists associated with Nouveau Réalisme, who, like Reijnders, wanted to hold up a multi-faceted mirror to contemporary society. His process sets up a dialogue with contemporary culture, appropriating a literal part of the city's visual life and using it alongside traditional media to examine celebrity, nostalgia, cultural differentiation, and the nature of art itself.
Collecting Bram Reijnders at Creed Gallery
Born and based in the Netherlands, Reijnders's career transformed when an unexpected appearance on a national television programme led to his entire studio selling out overnight. Creed Gallery currently holds Perfection Kills Fun at £4,500, available for collectors across Berkshire, Surrey and London.
Why Collect Bram Reijnders
Reijnders's décollage practice turns the literal debris of city life into work with genuine formal complexity and cultural bite — a technique with real art-historical lineage applied to unmistakably contemporary material. As with any artist, individual pieces vary in demand and value — our team is happy to talk you through the specifics of any work you're considering.
