Bio

Alexander Christopher Reinard (b. 1986, New York City) is a painter currently based in Boston, United States. Working primarily in acrylic, pencil drawings and AI-generated imagery superimposed on canvas, Reinard is best known for his innovative fusion of hard-edge geometric abstraction with surrealism. His distinctive approach has garnered attention for its meticulous structure yet absurd quality that pervades his compositions.

Reinard’s work explores the intersections of sexuality, language, societal constraints, mental illness and nightmares in a matrix of cultural diffusion, frequently portraying European-esque figures accosted by grotesque creatures inspired by Japanese folklore, all set within seemingly impossible geometries. His compositions are characterized by sharp, precise lines and vibrant color palettes, creating an intriguing contrast between the tangible and the unreal. Through series such as The New Orthography, Reinard invites viewers into a realm where form and imagination converge, challenging perceptions of peoples’ roles in society.

Reinard has exhibited in local showings in both New York City and Boston.
