Liam Reynolds (b.2000) is a self-taught visionary artist and art curator based in Canada. His work serves as commentary for the world, witness to both the beautiful and the horrific. Often touching on contrasting themes such as oppression and liberation, individuality and interconnectedness, beauty and fear, past and present, etc. The source of his inspiration is unconscious and meditative, consisting of a myriad of symbols taken from life and culture, often coupled with historical narratives and archetypes. His work represents his humanity and our connections to the universe. Through a design-oriented and symbolic approach, Liam strives to make the most impactful and honest art he can.
The artist's work is in the homes of countless national and international collectors and patrons, as well as many respected establishments. Liam is always in the pursuit to continue his visual exploration, expand his perspective, and use his work to hold space for revolution, self-expression, and fun.
"As an artist, obviously I strive to create art that is visually striking and emotionally resonant. This is often the prime goal for any artist. I use oil paint on paper, acrylic on canvas, and often mixed media on whatever. My work is centred around clarity in form and colour while stringing some sort of abstract narrative along. I'm constantly in pursuit of capturing a delicate contrast of hues and values, to amplify my subject and give depth to my forms. Through abstract and minimalist colour-blocking, I try to evoke a sense of awe or contemplation------at least to conjure up some sort of feeling. It's through an exploration of contrasting emotions that my art finds its purpose. Both celebrating and grappling with life's uncertain fragility... There's a lot of change going on in the world right now, and a lot of hurt people. I know art can heal. So ultimately, I hope it does that. I hope people leave my paintings feeling a sense of comfort."
