Laurie Reid (born 1964) is an American artist living in Berkeley,California.
She was born in Minneapolis,Minnesota [1] and grew up in Eugene,Oregon. [2] She attended Reed College in Portland,Oregon where she studied French Literature. [2] She later moved to the Bay Area and earned an MFA at the California College of Arts and Crafts. [1]
In 1998 Reid won the SECA Award,which included an exhibition of her work at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in 1999. [3] Reid's work was included in the Whitney Biennial in 2000. Reid works in both expansive and more limited canvases:In the above exhibitions she displayed large works (5 to 16-foot long watercolors) with very little color on them. In 2001,she collaborated with Crown Point Press on a series of etchings measured in inches rather than feet. Many of the etchings comprise simple drops of color arranged in space. [4]
Reid was a close friend and collaborator of poet and writer Barbara Guest. Together they created and published the book Symbiosis in 2000. [2]
Reid's work makes use of gravity (what she refers to as "chance") [4] upon the physical materials,sometimes like sculpture. [5] An art writer described this as "She lets the paint affect the paper in whatever way it will,and the result is a billowing,textured surface." [6] Reid has said:"I do sometimes use a grid,and other formal constructs,but there’s always the human hand involved. Psyche,material,form—it is a concoction that has to be brewed just right." [4]
As of 2017,she teaches at the San Francisco Art Institute. [7]
Reid's work is included in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art,New York;The Whitney Museum of American Art,New York;The National Gallery of Art,Washington DC;The Hammer Museum of Art,Los Angeles;The San Francisco Museum of Art,The Philadelphia Museum of Art,and Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA) among others.
