Biography

Gus Rey, known to the government as Gus Reynolds, is a muralist, illustrator, and crafty individual based out of Denver, Colorado.

Gus’ work lives somewhere between serious craftsmanship and not taking life too seriously. He is drawn to technique, layered processes, and the challenge of creating moments that stop people in their tracks, but believes awe and playfulness belong in the same conversation. Through murals, illustration, and unexpected materials, he aims to make work that feels technically considered, visually bold, and genuinely fun.

In 2022, Gus founded High Hoops: an on-going poster series celebrating the Denver Nuggets Basketball Team.

In 2018, Gus founded the Glacier Rescue Project: a Colorado-based nonprofit drives environmental action through the means of art and creative outlets.

Ayo! Very psyched with how this wild piece came together. Just installed last week for a financial firm in Denver who commissioned the project. Ive been experimenting with a lot of new art mediums and painting styles the last handful of months and
