LCT 001 by Reginald Sylvester II c.2023

Reginald Sylvester II (b. Jacksonville, North Carolina, 1987) lives and works in New York. Working predominantly in abstraction, Sylvester II makes large scale paintings, sculpture, furniture, and design objects.

Sylvester II is an artist whose works have the sensibility of a painter irrespective of the material or dimensional form they take, encouraging medium to guide him to concept.

He transcends the traditional canvas, discovering novel methods of creative process through experimentation with an investigation into physical, industrial, and spiritual engagements with rubber, steel, and aluminum—leading him to uncover complex material histories and reckonings with biblical and nuclear dystopias.
