Artist Information
Alan Reynolds is a painter of landscapes and abstracts, maker of constructions and reliefs, and teacher. He was born in Newmarket, Suffolk and studied at Woolwich School of Art, 1948-52, then won a scholarship to Royal College of Art, 1952-3, receiving a medal for painting.
Had first one man show at Redfern Gallery in 1952 and at Durlacher Gallery in 1954. He was one of three prize winners at Giovani Pittori show in Rome the following year, one of several awards he won. Taught at Central School of Art and Design, 1954-61, then at St. Martins School of Art.
Although Alan Reynold's work until 1958 had Neo-Romantic overtones, he was aware of trends in modern European art from 1946 and his early landscapes have a strong geometrical underpinning. From 1958 he was moving into abstraction, creating paintings, reliefs and constructions, often in white to maximise 'the play of light and shadow'.
Retrospective of relief constructions and drawings at Annely Juda Fine Art, 1991, with other shows there 2001 and 2006. There was an exhibition at Kettles Yard, 2003.
Tate Gallery and Arts Council hold his work.
