Defining Moment:

Early 1950s — structure as meditation; form became language

Alan Reynolds

(

1926–2014

)

al-un ren-ohlds

Reynolds built a world where geometry breathed.

His grids and constructions radiate calm — order distilled into quiet rhythm.

‍

In his world, structure became a form of meditation.

Structural Focus

Reduction with Atmosphere

Form is reduced without becoming cold or purely rational. Minimal means are used to produce calm, resonance, or emotional density.

In Alan Reynolds’s work, this approach appears where spatial painting dissolves structure into atmosphere rather than asserting compositional form.

Position

Reduction with Atmosphere

Form is reduced without becoming cold or purely rational. Minimal means are used to produce calm, resonance, or emotional density.

In Alan Reynolds’s work, this approach appears where spatial painting dissolves structure into atmosphere rather than asserting compositional form.

Form is governed by rigid rules, limits, and non-negotiable constraints.

Systems of Clarity

Order and coherence arise through disciplined systems and constraints.

Proportion organizes coherence through measured intervals, scale, and relation.

Structure holds the work through rules, joins, and controlled relationships between parts.

Form operates as a site for material, perceptual, and conceptual inquiry.

Crisp boundaries and flat color emphasize precision and control.

Color Abstraction

Color operates independently as a primary structural element.
