Reginald Sylvester II is an American artist working predominantly in abstraction. Questioning his position as an artist in a time of moral crises, Sylvester seeks to integrate his personal politics within his art practice to create work that is rooted in social realities and guided by his spirituality. Many of his paintings are large-scale, featuring gestural mark-making with layers of paint applied in a physically demanding process.
