Art Plural Gallery presents the solo exhibition of French-Argentinean artist Pablo Reinoso as part of Le French May in Hong Kong and Macau. The exhibition titled Living Sculptures features eleven artworks which will be displayed at two locations: One Central and Mandarin Oriental in Macau.
One of the largest French arts festivals in Asia, Le French May has been held annually in Hong Kong and Macau for more than 20 years. Having established a great reputation in bringing the spirit of France to Hong Kong and Macau, Le French May stages world-class events from visual arts to music, dance or performances in various locations.
This year, French-Argentinean artist Pablo Reinoso has been invited to present his latest sculptures in Macau. Originally a renowned designer but essentially an artist, Pablo Reinoso has practiced art in various ways since an early age. Multifaceted and curious, he navigates through different disciplines; sculpture, photography, architecture and design, exploring a myriad of techniques and materials. With his sculptural creations, he tests the limits of possibility by using objects against their grain, uniting opposites and mixing-up materials such as wood, slate, brass, marble and steel.
Reinoso focuses his search on the entity, its transference, and the unconscious, using space and time as an environment. A culmination of the artist’s discoveries brought him to use other materials such as air. This medium enabled the energy to flow in all dimensions of his self-orientated link between art history and psychoanalysis. Today, the material object in Reinoso's work is just a vector to convey his inspiration and thought. The actual study of functionality leads to the inner dialogue between art and design, which transcends into the outer object itself. This is illustrated through the mutation of mirrors, chairs, benches and garments along with the chaos of the unknown using our five senses.
About the Artist:
Pablo Reinoso was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1955. He studied architecture at the University of Buenos Aires. Throughout his life, Reinoso conducted his exploration in a Yin-Yang manner. On one side, his portfolio features numerous design projects for the packaging, furniture, interiors and luxury consumer goods world and on the other, the endless quest of the intangible boundaries of the soul through art, and think tanks.
In the 90’s, he created monumental sculptures, some of which initiated the establishment of landmark installations. Reinoso's international reputation shines, as his rich array of pieces and their depth blazes the trail for a new dimension of art/design.
