 | | In one short catalogue entry Allan Smith once described Reynolds as intoxicated, indecorous, hedonistic, romantic, sublime, mythopoetic, dithyrambic, epic and visionary, excessive and cloying, satanic and heavenly, restless; his compositions as turbulent, angelic, chromatic, shimmering and exfoliating, internally stressed, externally unhinged, and ornamental; his iconography as reminiscent of blood vessels and hallucinated architecture. |
 | | Reynolds regularly combines overblown scale - the public address scale of billboards - with an arcane personalised language, fugitive drawing style and obscure intentions. |
 | | Reynolds' obsessive repetition of an empty sign, overlapped and arrayed, creates shimmering spatial effects, a kind of fuzzy, deliquescent architecture. |
