Jackals, 2025
Liam Reynolds
Oil on Arches paper
22" x 30"
In Jackals, Liam Reynolds merges childlike imagery with subtle menace. Two hybrid creatures—part animal, part myth—stand boldly in a barren landscape scattered with toy-like tanks and tents. Rendered in playful pinks and whites, their cartoonish forms belie a deeper psychological tension.
Balancing whimsy and unease, Jackals invites reflection on memory, conflict, and imagination. It’s a compelling example of Reynolds’ ability to fuse narrative, irony, and emotional depth—ideal for collectors drawn to layered, thought-provoking contemporary painting.
Liam Reynolds is a self-taught Ontario artist whose work resists rigid ideas of what art should be. Blending oil, pastel, ink, and sound, he creates contemplative, joyful pieces grounded in freedom, beauty, and conscious living.
