This talk took place in The Great Hall at The Cooper Union on June 14, 2019. The livestreaming and video recording were​ made possible by a generous sponsorship from Google. 

In reference to the responsibility of the artist, James Baldwin said “The conquest of the physical world is not man’s only duty. He is also enjoined to conquer the great wilderness of himself.” With an instinctual approach to design, Renald Louissaint will showcase an array of projects that reveal his creative process as it relates to his perspective on social issues, the evolution of self, and the exploration of form.

Renald Louissaint is a Brooklyn based designer and illustrator who balances the different approaches required for both practices to inform all of his work. His illustration focuses on introspection and self, and is expressed through a light, minimalist touch. In contrast, his design work is lush and detailed, carefully researched and composed. He is currently a brand designer at Medium and recently graduated from the University of Connecticut where he received his BFA in graphic design.
