Reyes Fine Art on Location

Today marks 90 days on location in the suburbs of Detroit, MI. After working days building sets for the feature film "Batman vs Superman", I've been diligently planning and producing new paintings at night in an impromptu studio I put together in my hotel room. Here's a little insider tour for you…

The setup.

The tools.

The palette.

The action and the output. Pictured is "Angeles Sky".

While the act of painting itself becomes a spontaneous free-for-all, the planning in terms of size, base colors, etc. is not. These are some roadmaps for cityscapes based on trips to Paris, Montreal, and Barcelona.

Sometimes I draw out the compositions, sometimes I don't. In the case of these three, I did!

Tribe Series 1 - 4

The following four series were seemingly born in an instant on March 26, 2009 (see the green Tribe Series #1, which was the first). In reality, the idea, that moment, was really the convergence of the prior 7 years of exploration of the figure, the still life, the landscape. These paintings run the gamut of these subjects...they sometimes are narrative, sometimes purely design, and mostly just plain fun to create! I compose and paint them always in groups of four, and now that there are 4 series, I wanted to present them to you in their intended groupings.
