Inspired by a multicultural upbringing in both Argentina and France, Pablo Reinoso is an artist, designer and researcher. He plays with sculpture and hones his craftsmanship using 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 compilation of all discoveries brought the artist 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.
Read MorePablo Reinoso was born in Argentina in 1955. He studied architecture at the University of Buenos Aires. Throughout his life, Reinoso conducted his exploration through the principles that oppose one another in their actions. 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 1980’s, he documented and crystallized the creative moments of Peter Brook and Maurice Béjart using photography. 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 and Design. Reinoso also asserts his reputation “as an artist-designer” and produced objects for the Friends of the Georges Pompidou Center, office chairs for Herman Miller, USA, lights for J.C Decaux, France as well as Yamagiwa, Japan, and furniture for Poltrona Frau. He became Art Director in the LVMH group heading both Parfums Givenchy and Parfums Loewe, concept manager for Kenzo and a star designer for Veuve Cliquot, Estates & Wines, all marking the turn of the new design decade.
