Reid Christie |
 Reid
Christie is a painter of
landscapes, although
he can paint any subject
with which he is
familiar. Christie
is strongly influenced
by the Hudson River
School of painters - how
light reflects,
refracts, and passes in,
around and through this
world in which we
live. When
Christie composes a
piece, he breaks it down
to a simple, radial
composition as possible.
He then takes this
simple composition and
adds to it through
geometrical angles and
lines, as much as
possible, without
transcending that point
in which the painting
cannot be
understood. Once
these basic premises
have been completed, he
may add small figures to
the piece, generally for
composition
purposes. Born in 1951, Christie is a native to Wyoming and graduated from the University of Wyoming with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in 1981. Christie's work can be found in collections throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia. His paintings are in the permanent collections at the Buffalo Bill Historical Center, the Shoshone First Bank in Cody, Wyoming, the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN Reid is also the 2008 Artist of the Year for the Rocky mountain Elk Foundation. He currently lives in Cody, Wyoming with his wife and two children. |
