Robin Reynolds works in pen-and-ink and watercolour. His best-known works are his historical panoramas of London and New Orleans. Robin was born in Zimbabwe 1952. He spent most of his working life in journalism and business communications in the United Kingdom. Latterly he was responsible for the BBC’s art and history collections. Initially he pursued drawing in spare time between work and family commitments. But since 2010 he has been developing stories in pictures full-time, along a number of themes – notably fantasy townscapes and disasters, and, more recently, city panoramas. Recent projects include a pictorial history of the Tower of London, a study of do-it-yourself dentistry, and his own Life Misremembered, a visual autobiography set inside a human brain.

Born in 1962 in Pulheim, Cologne, Germany. Especially since a crucial time in hospital in my early youth I felt the need expressing myself via drawing and painting and developed it further. In 1979 moved to Cologne - the big city. In 1990 I invented the Recycling-Art-Concept, which basically is founded on the principle to use only used and found material for creating art and developing it to a better self - looking and feeling brand new. In order to be authentic and also to show aspects of sustainability, my works show visible traces of an engagement with my vision of the finished work, my own life and the mostly used material that I process and give it new life, as if it was reborn. Exhibitions in the 90th in Cologne followed, as did my 1st. Internet- exhibition “Back to Basics“ at the beginning of the year 1997. Going on international ground since 2020, having exhibited in Barcelona, Dublin, London, and last not least Venice and Rome, here with my new recycled ART_ViDEOs: GEN224 & REV87. The idea was and still is to create sustainable Art and at the same time saving resources due to the responsibility modern man has with regards to material and nature; long before this was discovered by the public. 1996 Dr. Erich Franz, former deputy artistic director of the Westphalian State Museum for Art and Cultural History in Münster, wrote about Rolands artworks in 1996 said, that he liked them and stated that they are… put together carefully and do so also in leading to different moments of stability and movement. Also the clashes of colors are not without a silent form of energy. 2020 Art Baazar Magazine interview issue 11 - "What I have found" September 2020 2021 Colin Balmain, Art Professional and Curator, Gallery Balmain, London, England wrote in 2021: '[...] Roland’s concept [ Recycling Art Concept 1990] is way ahead of its time. 2025 Dr. Carmela Loiacono, Art Historian and Independent Curator, Italy wrote about Roland's artworks in 2025 after analyzing his biography and all artworks, that she - according to the historical-artistic criteria of quality, originality and uniqueness of the works - is more than glad to present his ART_ViDEO: offTheWaters-THE.GREAT.FLOOD during the exhibition NATURAL FLOW in Matera, Italy. 2025 Award of Merit by Gallery Ring, USA for the piece “GOLD_SCARs” in April
