David Reid
A Christchurch born painter who previously studied at the Ilam School of Fine Arts.
Like many NZ artists Reid’s work has been shaped by the Wairua/ - spiritual essence of the natural world and the wide, open landscapes of Aotearoa and its light.
Reid has always been attracted to and practiced abstract painting and in recent years increasingly began sketching outdoors, - the visceral nature of which led to a series of landscape paintings of various environments around NZ, which explore the connection between land and soul through works with a with a deep appreciation of the world around us
