R. Wayne Reynolds

United States  • 1953

Presentation

R. Wayne Reynolds was born in Arlington, Virginia on February 22, 1953. A visit to the National Gallery of Art at the age of five, combined with regular visits to the Smithsonian's Natural History Museum made an impermeable impression that formed the foundation for his love of art and nature, and set the standard for his creative work.

After receiving his BFA in Painting from The Maryland Institute, College of Art, Mr. Reynolds founded a Baltimore based company devoted to the 500 year old craft of gilding. His professional career as a Gold Leaf Conservator brought in museum clients and private collectors from all over the country.

Working as a conservator provided extensive exposure to world class art, but it took twenty three years before he returned to making his own art. Selling his company to Sotheby's and moving to New York in 1998 was the catalyst for that to resume. He began to exhibit his work in 2009 for the first time since college

The artist creates abstract artworks that can be recognised from his exceptional style and unique techniques. His latest creation is the "Earth Series. It's Not Ours!", painted on evolon with acrylic, communicating that Earth is just our temporary home and we are not taking good care of it. The artist also believes that we are not the only intelligent creatures in the Universe and deeper look at his works may reveal interesting inhabitants from other planets.
