Reginald Sylvester II: Reaching For Heaven Opening Reception

In his newest body of works on paper, Reginald Sylvester II works intuitively with acrylic paint and oil sticks to create densely packed abstractions. Jumbling bold colors, black outlines, child-like scribbles and disembodied cartoon limbs, Sylvester wrestles with the perpetual overstimulation of a digital lifestyle with the emotional urgency of the abstract expressionist canon. The exhibition questions the idea of humanity in an age where identity is synonymous with selfie.
