About the Item
Krista Reuter's contemporary paper sculpture artworks unfold like a quiet study in light, shadow, texture, and dimensional abstraction. Hand-cut and layered with meticulous precision, her artworks create intricate topographies that shift as the viewer moves. Soft gradients fall across the raised edges, casting subtle shadows that bring the composition to life. The interplay of torn and sculpted paper introduces a sense of rhythm and movement, making her pieces feel both architectural and organic—an immersive work of modern minimalist art, abstract wall sculpture, and textural contemporary design.

Rooted in a deep respect for the handmade, Reuter’s process transforms simple sheets of paper into sculptural environments. Each work begins with deliberate planning, yet evolves through intuition as she tears, cuts, folds, and layers the material. The spaces of air between the forms allow light to become an active participant—creating gradients, silhouettes, and delicate shadows that heighten the artwork’s sense of motion. Her pieces invite viewers to pause, breathe, and enter a contemplative encounter with space, texture, and quiet luminosity.
Krista Reuter is a Michigan-based artist renowned for her poetic, meticulously crafted works created with cut and layered paper. Exploring the threshold between two-dimensional and sculptural form, she transforms paper through cutting, tearing, folding, piercing, and embroidery—elevating the material from surface to structure. Her artwork has been exhibited nationally and internationally, with pieces held in major corporate and private collections including The Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas, The Ritz-Carlton in Chicago, Norwegian Cruise Lines, Lincoln Financial Group, and the Fairmont Rabat Hotel. Her work has appeared in publications such as Modern Luxury Interiors, ArtDose Magazine, and Studio Visit Magazine. Throughout her career, Reuter has developed a distinctive visual language—one that honors the handmade and celebrates the poetry of light, movement, and shadow.
