Reynold Reynolds (born 1966) is an American visual artist who currently lives and works in Amsterdam. He is a recipient of a fellowship from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation. He has been awarded both the Rome Prize (2013) and the Berlin Prize (2004). His works are in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (New York) and have been shown at numerous biennials, including the 4th Berlin Biennale and the 3rd Moscow Biennale. His short film The Drowning Room received an honourable mention at the Sundance Film Festival.

While pursuing his bachelor’s degree at the University of Colorado in Boulder, Reynolds studied physics and graduated under the tutelage of Carl Wieman (2001 Nobel Prize winner in physics). After shifting his focus to fine arts, he remained in Boulder for two more years to study with experimental filmmaker Stan Brakhage. After moving to New York City, Reynolds completed his Master of Fine Arts at the School of Visual Arts.

Influenced by philosophy and science and working primarily with 16mm film as an artistic medium, he developed his own unique film grammar. By subtly altering familiar conditions and observing their effects, he transfers experimental scientific methods to filmmaking in order to reveal underlying causality. He has received numerous awards for his work, including the Festival Prize for Secret Life at the European Media Art Festival Osnabrück 2008, the Distinction Award for Six Apartments at Transmediale Berlin 2009 and the Festival Prize for 1 Part 7 at Videoformes 2015.
