Lucas Joseph Reiner is an American painter, printmaker, photographer and filmmaker. He is most known for painting series that mix elements of representation, narrative and symbolism, and abstraction, and explore subjects such as the collision between organic growth and urban life, the atmospheric effects of fireworks and skies, and spiritual themes. His work belongs to the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Santa Barbara Museum of Art and Staatliche Graphische Sammlung München, among others, and a monograph of his paintings, drawings and photographs, Los Angeles Trees (2008), was selected as one of the Los Angeles Times "Favorite Books of 2008." That paper's critic, David Pagel, wrote that his "paintings of trees trimmed to within inches of their lives have the pathos of circus freaks and the stubbornness of survivalists." Reiner has exhibited in the U.S., Germany, Italy and Mexico, at institutions including Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery and Museo de la Estampa. He is based in Los Angeles and Berlin, and married to Maud Winchester.
