"The Inhuman Condition" Painting

Reed is a conceptual artist that uses the visual medium to help explain the world to himself and others. He specialize in undogmatic reality. A term he came up with to inspire a non-bias observer.
His very eclectic style is inspired by his very eclectic life.
Poetry through art! Reed works in a variety of mediums including; oil, acrylic, watercolor, charcoal and ink. The vision for each piece determines which style, medium and surface will best convey the subject matter. His body of work is interdisciplinary, with inspiration being diversely derived from music, history, personal experience, and the general state of the world. He believes art can't be limited to any one style as it needs to breathe and grow like any other living organism. He enjoys starting with a blank slate and manipulating the medium to release moments frozen in time, paintings are single frame snap shots of a story. Whether a still life, landscape, or abstract the renderings invite the viewer to join in on that story.

His goal is not to make photographic type paintings of subject matter, but, rather, to release a poem from the ether onto the canvas, conveying the absolute beauty and brutality of reality; sometimes within the same work. You are invited into a world of pure imagination in hopes that it will stir your emotions and enrich your life.

Thank you.
