Art

[edit]
Painting #576 by David Reed, 2007

David Reed is known as a colorist and for creating long, narrow abstract paintings on canvas that are hung either lengthwise or vertically and feature several images resembling enlarged photographs of swirling brushstrokes juxtaposed in a single painting.[2] Reed's paintings are engaged in a crossover between film, the electronic media and everyday culture. Besides being a fine arts painter, he is also an installation sculptor,[3] a video artist,[4] a lecturer on contemporary art and art history, and an exhibition curator.[5] He has a fondness for the art from the Baroque and works by Degas and Delacroix.[3]

Vertigo Project

[edit]

In discussing paintings by John McLaughlin, the artist and dealer Nicholas Wilder once remarked to David Reed that owners of his paintings often move them into their bedrooms, in order to live with them more intimately. Reed saw in this practice his own aspiration to be a "bedroom painter." For his project "Two Bedrooms in San Francisco," Reed inserted images of his paintings into scenes from Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo (film), which take place in the bedrooms of the film's two main characters, Judy and Scottie. The modified film clips run continuously on television monitors as part of ensembles, which include life-size replicas of the two beds as they appear in the film and the very paintings that had been inserted in the film.[6]

High Times, Hard Times: New York Painting 1967-1975

[edit]

David Reed was the adviser for the exhibition High Times, Hard Times: New York Painting 1967-1975 curated by Katy Siegel, which traveled to Weatherspoon Art Museum, University of North Carolina at Greensboro in North Carolina from August 6 to October 15, 2006; Katzen Arts Center at American University in Washington, D.C., from November 21, 2006, to January 21, 2007; National Academy of Design in New York City from February 15 to April 22, 2007; Tamayo Contemporary Art Museum in Mexico City from May 25 to September 9, 2007; Neue Galerie Graz in Graz from December 14, 2007, to February 24, 2008; and Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe in Karlsruhe from March 28 to June 1, 2008.[7]

Life

[edit]

David Reed grew up in California. He attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Skowhegan, Maine, in 1966 and the New York Studio School in New York, where he studied primarily with Milton Resnick as well as Mercedes Matter and Esteban Vicente while on a Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship in 1967.[8] He received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Reed College in Portland, Oregon, in 1968. After getting his degree, he moved to New York City and, though he wasn't officially enrolled at the New York Studio School at the time, he attended Philip Guston's seminar there and continued to participate in other activities at the school.[8] He has lived and worked in the city continuously since 1971.[5] In 1969 he had a son, the novelist John Reed. His uncle O.P., aunt Rosemary, and great-uncle August Biehle, were all painters. As a gallerist, O.P. discovered John McLaughlin (artist), later a great influence on Reed as a teenager.[9]

David Reed is the recipient of many awards, including the Roswell Museum and Art Center grant, the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship, the National Endowment for the Arts Visual Arts Fellowship, and the Ursula Blickle Foundation Art Award.

He is represented by Gagosian Gallery, Gallery Nathalie Obadia, Galerie Anke Schmidt in Cologne, Germany, and Häusler Contemporary in Zurich, Switzerland. His works on paper are represented by Peter Blum Gallery in New York.[10]
