New Artist

We are pleased to announce that we will now be showing works by Guy Reid.

Guy Reid, born in Johannesburg in 1963, was raised in London and Shropshire. He completed his first degree in 1984, a BA in Politics and History at the University of North London.

In 1985 Reid began training as a classical carver and restorer and later went to work for the world renowned Spink Workshop where he completed work for institutions as varied as the Metropolitan Museum New York, the Getty Museum California and the Sir John Soane Museum London.

In 1997 Reid went on to graduate with an MA in Systematic Theology at King’s College London. He has exhibited widely at groups and solo exhibitions as well as at art fairs in the UK, France and the USA.

His work is to be found in private and public collections in the UK and abroad including the controversial and much acclaimed Madonna and child at St. Matthew’s Westminster in London.

Reid’s works is always informed by the figure in relation to its spatial and thematic contexts and are either painted, partially painted or left in the natural wood. He is interested in the current debate surrounding painted sculpture and has found that his painted works in particular can still cause controversy, asserting an alternative ethos to the modern tradition which elevates the material.
