Artist Statement
Social issues and cultural scrutiny remain a constant source of inspiration for my work. Infusing art with a concept provides the ability to communicate an idea on a deeper, emotional level. Mastery of technique and style will facilitate the process, but it’s the meaning, the soul of the piece that provides the intellectual capacity to transcend, to transform.

Biography
Since childhood Reutimann has been interested in all forms of artistic expressions that communicate ideas and emotions in significant forms. He began playing the piano at the age of five. During his teenage years he competed in international piano competitions and performed as a classical concert pianist throughout Europe. Among Reutimann’s noteworthy achievements are the design and successful marketing of his own series of light fixtures. His award-winning handcrafted and limited edition lamps have been featured in numerous art and design magazines. For a number of years he organized art fairs in Zurich, Hamburg and Dusseldorf. Over a period of six years he designed and handcrafted a Miami Beach Villa and artistically enhanced it with elaborate mosaic floors, mahogany cabinetries, ornamental plaster ceilings and stained glass windows. The home was ultimately published in Architectural Digest magazine.  

Reutimann has been painting and sculpting his entire life but it wasn’t until 2007 when he decided to turn his lifelong passion into reality. Since then he has been working as a successful professional sculptor in Boulder, Colorado.   

Inspiration and Style
Much of Reutimann’s inspiration comes from observing society and human nature. His work has a strong conceptual content and the effects from his sculptures seek to be relevant and cohesive with our contemporary life. The content or concepts of his sculptures are social statements and commentaries. Human behavior serves as inspiration and he uses the human figure to materialize those thoughts. The simplicity in his compositions highlights a message and showcases the human figure in its beauty. His art intends to make the observer pause and think, provoke a dialogue and create an emotional connection.
