Brian Reed is a New York City based artist.

Career

In 2010, his installation at The Museum of the Americas opened to acclaim in Washington, D.C. A follow-up solo at Chair and the Maiden Gallery in New York’s West Village generated a flurry of media coverage[1][2][3] and enough controversy to attract the interest of the American Bar Association during which the artist "remained himself – low - key, directed and self-possessed."

In 2011 his work was recently exhibited at The West Virginia Juried Exhibition Biennial and received the Merit Award.[4]

West Virginia Living had this to say about Brian Reed:

"At twenty-seven, artist Brian Reed’s accomplishments in the art world are impressive and provocative. His focus on art making is relentless, but his presentation is calm and quietly, albeit intensely, engaging."[5]

Reed continues to show solo shows nationally, most recently “A Matter of Heart” in Hudson NY,[6] and the “Orchard of Life” on Governor’s Island,[7] New York City.
