Tom Reno Abstract Paintings

American, b. 1948
Tom Reno is an abstract artist originally from Southern California who now resides in New Mexico. He is the paragon of a free-spirited artist who lives much of his life as a nomad traveling across the United States. Reno's spirituality and life philosophy are integral to his creative process. He describes his paintings as “destinations in your mind." Reno was born in Hollywood in 1948 and grew up in California's San Fernando Valley. He was a creative child and often made art, but never with the expectation of one day becoming an artist. After he completed high school, he served for three years in the United States Army in Vietnam— an experience which he ironically referred to as “enlightening.” Reno's time in the military gave him a renewed appreciation for life and freedom. He sought to live life entirely on his own terms from then on. The day he left the military, he tore off his shirt, jumped in his car, and drove straight to Denver to ski with his friends. The fervor for living life to the fullest hasn't left him to this day. Before Reno became a professional artist, he was a sign painter for many years. Sign painting was, what he called, a “freedom job". He could make a living while traveling around the United States, free of bosses and obligations. He found businesses looking to have their old signs restored and, and he offered to paint them. He felt satisfaction with “becoming a little part of each town." Reno's goal for painting is to "tap into the energy of the moment". He starts by looking at a canvas and waiting patiently for inspiration. Suddenly, he sees a color combination or compositional pattern and begins working. “It’s almost like a place in your mind that you go that you can’t describe." Reno’s opinion is that abstract art is a pure form of expression and an energetic practice. He believes excellence in abstract art is a function of life experience rather than technical knowledge. When asked about whether he received any formal training, he responded “I'm not really a formal training kind of guy.” Reno describes his art as the antithesis to his work as a sign painter. Sign painting is repetitive and highly controlled. Conversely, abstract paintings are spontaneous and physical like a dance. He draws an analogy to life, and describes: "Paintings encapsulate a mini lifetime on each canvas: there's the rush of starting- some things work, and others don't, and in the end it all seems to be about perseverance."
