Work
Reynolds makes paintings, sculpture, sound and video artwork. His work references pop art, minimalism, and conceptual art, and engages with ecological issues.
In a conversation with the artist and the novelist Emma Cline, Cline notes that Reynolds's “work attempts to make the concepts of scope and time and environment somehow perceivable.” In an essay titled “Seeing Nature (After the Human), on Painting as Philosophy,” philosopher Tobias Rees writes, “Reynolds’ paintings of icebergs, glaciers, shipwrecks, botanicals and suns are contemporary studies of how we have come to see – and experience – nature.” “His current practice includes sculpture, video, digital work, sound and collaboration with earth scientists.” Ralph Rugoff writes that “Reynolds’ paintings invite us to look and also to read, as they feature short caption-like texts that are often equally enigmatic and descriptive.”
