Kevin Reinhardt's way of living and his artistic practice feed one another. Trained as an architect, Reinhardt's methodical and introspective approach revolves around an interest in the "less spectacular side of the sublime." This ethos is clearly present in his intentional choice of material and limited color palette.

Reinhardt skillfully suspends moments in time, decontextualizing familiar images and transforming them into an array of details, each one as important as the next. Reinhardt engages in this transfiguration in several steps, often moving from object to drawing and back again - flattening and replicating the mundane until its sublime qualities have been distilled.
