Join Bruce Reynolds for a floor talk about his exhibition, How Soon Is Now?

Learn about the materials and process used by Reynolds in his exquisite cast relief works with two-dimensional works that invites audiences to consider the ancient in relation to the present.

How Soon Is Now? brings together a selection of Bruce Reynolds’ exquisite cast relief works with painterly, two-dimensional collaged linoleum works, to celebrate a physicality that is frequently overlooked in today’s growing digital environment.

Bruce Reynolds’ work grew from collage to relief and sculpture over a number of decades.

Artist residencies in Rome focused his studio and architectural works on relief forms that occupy the space between painting and sculpture, and between drawing and architecture.

He describes it as being both archaic and a fresh place of representation.
