Reinoso observed that he studied different periods of the history of France and that of a young king who loved hunting, Francisco I. “Chambord is a castle of human genius, it was not made to live but to celebrate and show the poetry of human strength in its greatest exuberance. It was not a defensive castle, it was a castle created to dream”.
On one of the entrance paths to the castle, surrounded by more than 50 kilometers of recently restored forests and gardens, is “Vegetable Revolution (according to Leonardo)”. The stone and steel sculpture, a tree several meters high, is inspired by Leonardo Da Vinci. It is the most powerful work. Da Vinci worked in the region for the last three years of his life, invited by King Francis I. He planned to build a utopian place where “there should be fountains in every square” and the mills would carry water. The king abandoned the original plan when Leonardo died in 1519, although the construction of Chambord began in the same year.
Owner of a trade that adds a plus in a space linked to the history and taste of France, Reinoso gained fame with his designs for Kenzo and Givenchy. There is a degree of perfection in the choice of material, lines and finish of the pieces, which consolidates the alliance with a past that goes back to the Renaissance genius.
The Buenos Aires public is aware of Reinoso’s work with “Enremadederas”, a bank that can be seen from the Malba lobby. At the entrance to Chambord, his peculiar style is perceived in “La Grande Parole” and several benches where the gaze slides, flows smoothly through the sinuous lines and curly forms. Inside the castle, on the stone walls, wood provides color and warmth. The wooden frames and the flames of the fireplace, prolong forms that become rubbery and playful and move along the walls.
The arrival in Chambord gave the artist not only the opportunity to display and enhance his aesthetics in an almost magical landscape, but also to be reborn with the rescue of the greatness of the past. The work in metal, a material suitable for the open air, announces the desire for a public destination to which Reinoso aspires.
Right there to celebrate were the cultural operators Yamile Le Parc and Felipe Durán, the critic Clelia Taricco and the president of the Modern Museum, Inés Etchebarne; gallery owners from the Le Marais neighborhood of Paris and Punta del Este, Sofía Silva and Reno Xippas; the artist Paula Toto Blaque and the collectors Claudio Stamato, Carlos Ott and Gabriel Werthein, along with their French peers.
