John Reynolds: Smoke and Mirrors

John Reynolds: Smoke and Mirrors

  • Free
  • Visual Arts

A major solo show, Smoke and Mirrors claims that creativity is activism, and has a vital role regarding catastrophic climate change.

Delayism/denialism, smoke and mirrors, however you slice it, the fateful Anthropocene is upon us. With this new project John Reynolds mixes rainwater with acrylics, gallows humour with dead seriousness, and ponders the seemingly simple question, “are we there yet?”. Slogans and provocations quoting activists, notably Greta Thunberg, spill across a wordy array of paintings and placard installations.
