REOH

CASTLE: FAETANO

Reoh, artista e designer, ha sviluppato il suo percorso tra Rimini, Milano, Modena e San Marino.
Born in 1974, he entered the art world in the 1990s, helping to popularize graffiti writing.
Starting out as a self-taught practitioner, he trained himself in graphic design, steadily expanding his technical and creative repertoire.

I can state without a doubt that writing has been crucial to my personal growth. The dynamics of that world marked the divide between the possible and the impossible, giving me the tools to create something unique and unexpected. The culture of pushing back, the need for difference, nighttime forays, and the quest for a style have forever shaped my outlook.

Spray paint was Reoh’s medium of choice on the city’s large surfaces throughout the 1990s, shifting between figurative work and lettering.
From the 2000s onward, visual synthesis became his profession, and visual design began to inform his artistic research as well.

Fascinated by the possibility of distorting letters—without prejudice or limits—drawing turned into a passion for typography, prompting him to explore the communicative potential of various materials through installations and new alphabets.
This is the case of Typocraft alphabet model, which is born from a single basic element of folded paper and comes to life through the manual skill of its creator, then reworked with sheets of metal and copper or painted on canvas, or of Unlock, letters in metal rod that write words in space destined to lose their meaning and recover it when observed from a different angle, like an eternal wildstyle.

Over the years, Reoh has presented a variety of projects in exhibitions such as Degni di Nota at Cascina Triulza and Frigoriferi Milanesi in Milan; Arte Fiera in Verona; shows at the Zirkumflex and RAUM Italic galleries in Berlin; and the BJCEM collective art biennial in Athens, in addition to creating installations for Expo Milano.
The group exhibitions Segnali Urbani – Art and Writing of the 20th Century in Rimini’s Urban Fabric (2023), installed in the contemporary section of Rimini’s City Museum, and Incroci – Paths and Hybridizations from Writing to the Contemporary (2024) open a new phase in his research.

"Even now the characters multiply in my head and in my hands, constantly stealing the spotlight—especially the introverted, marginalized, difficult ones that awaken in me my original longing for freedom".
