"Before the Fantastic..." Reynold Rodriguez

Charles Burnand Gallery presents “Before the Fantastic...” the debut body of work and solo show by Puerto Rican artist and designer Reynold Rodriguez. The show runs from 24th October 2022 until 13th January 2023. Realised over the past two years, this collection is a series of ‘moments’ created through emotion and form. Rodriguez’s work is guided by a very particular moment of creation, the instance when the nebula in our mind lights up and the synapses connect, crystallising an emotion or idea into a form.“Prior to every storm there is moment of clarity and quiet space, the pre-cursor to the dutiful chaos that will ensue, a moment where procedural development begins; it is this nexus that is “Before the Fantastic...” Award-winning Rodriguez (b.1971), a multi-disciplinary designer and artist, creates furniture, interiors and special projects; his work includes handmade furniture and lighting made from plaster and salvaged wood, imbued with distinct character that is both familiar and curious at the same time.
