This book focuses on the work of contemporary sculptor Pablo Reinoso, and was published to accompany a pair of Special Focus exhibitions held both online and in Waddington Custot’s Cork Street gallery space in autumn 2020. These shows sought to explore the Franco-Argentine artist’s ongoing interest in the contemporary interaction between humanity and the environment.
Printed in a limited edition of 100 copies, the publication is presented in a large format, with generous use of full-bleed imagery to reflect the scale of Reinoso’s works. The book is Otabound, enabling it to lie flat when open. Within, its page numbers are hand-drawn and break out of a continuous line that runs through the entire publication, in reference to Reinoso’s way of writing his own signature, and the sculptural looping and twisting motifs within his work. The uncoated papers chosen for use throughout the book reflect the artist’s use of wood in his work, with a more textured coated stock used for plates, and the colour scheme was influenced by the environmental focus of the exhibitions.
