Steve Reber received an MFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art and teaches at the School of The Art Institute of Chicago. Reber combines modern building materials such as plywood, ceramic, plastic laminate and decorative paneling with found objects. His sculptural compositions and wall-drawings balance at the threshold of refined geometry and confined architectural space.

“What is familiar and common is put into the service of Geometry. Through geometric reduction and repetition, elements are constructed that offer a bridge between an object and architectural space.”
