About the Item

Boston-based contemporary artist Shelley Reed is known for her dramatic black-and-white monochromatic oil paintings that reconfigure art history. Borrowing visual fragments from 17th- and 18th-century Northern European Old Masters, her theatrical compositions combine historical animals, figures, and architectural details in bold scales and scenes to reflect on contemporary human nature. Her award-winning work is held in major public collections, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Art Institute of Chicago.
