Working in the language of landscape, topography and architecture, Brian Reinker’s colourful abstractions depict real and imagined places with the disciplined approach of an architect. The graphic and geometric elements he uses to create cityscapes, landscapes and atmospheric horizons are rendered in ways that communicate his emotional response to the landscape. Reinker’s aim is to distil and abstract the essence of these places, using a variety of techniques and media – including paint, ink, and collage on Dibond panels.
