Apocalypse O’Clock
$120
Here one of Reynolds’s paintings from his recent Apocalypse O’Clock series is disassembled and fragmented as individual pages within the Wall/Book.
The book thus documents the work, but then itself may be disassembled, with the pages reconfigured on the wall to the scale of the original work, or fragmented as singular pages or even random sections.
50pp Perforated Wall Work
104pp Hardcover
Printed on FSC® certified paper
297 x 210mm Portrait
240gsm matt art paper
In emphasis or resignation, the diptych clocks a fraught pattern ofself-imitation against the dying of the light. A fixing of our days. An Apocalypse O’Clock.
In a playful contemplation of time and catastrophe, the book both maps the artwork and charts its own destruction and subsequent reconfiguration on the wall.

how you twist it,
life stays frozen in the headlights.
Funny, none of us heard the roar.’
