Focus on the Masters: A Conversation with Mick Reinman

Mick Reinman has been described as a painter’s painter – whether powerfully colored compositions that build on the human figure, landscape in its most basic architectonic form, explorations of the Nine Square grid or images of Spaghetti Western icons – the scope of his subject matter and style is broad. Reinman attended Chouinard Art Institute on a full scholarship and holds degrees from Cal State University Northridge and Art Center College of Design. He has been working in the entertainment industry for over thirty years. Mick’s paintings are influenced by Jungian psychology and explore the existential struggle we face in our personal quest for wholeness. His multi-faceted career includes working as a Senior Concept Designer at Walt Disney Imagineering, a designer of graphic novels, a billboard painter, a scenic painter and art director. As an educator, the artist has been sharing his expertise by teaching at Otis College of Art & Design and Cal State University Channel Islands. Mick’s paintings are widely collected and housed in prestigious public and private collections.
