The Studio
Where Kai works.
Half gallery, half workshop in Shoreditch, London. One wall stays white. The other is spray cans and cutting mats, all in perfect order.
The Story
Get to know Kai.
What inspires him
The moment an idea leaves the head. London’s greys, Lagos’s colour, and the one second where they meet.
How the work gets made
The grey world is cut clean with a vector edge, then one element is let go with poured and aerosol colour, drips and overspray. The line stays sharp and the spray stays loose. Neither wins.
Vector-clean greys cut with a knife-sharp edge, then one eruption of poured and aerosol colour let loose with drips and overspray.
The Practice
What makes a Kai Reynolds a Kai Reynolds.
Grey
Vector clean
London built exactly, every edge a decision.
Burst
One eruption
Exactly one thing lets go. Always leaving the subject, never framing it.
Colour
Lagos
The colour is the idea. The grey is where it lived until now.
“The line stays sharp and the spray stays loose. Neither one wins.”
— Kai Reynolds
