Shelley Reed Paintings

American

Shelley Reed was born in New York City in 1958 and currently lives and works in Boston, Massachusetts. She has a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Brandeis University and graduated from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, in 1984. Reed has shown nationally in both galleries and museums such as Danese/Corey in New York City, Fitchburg Art Museum, Massachusetts; Columbia Museum of Art, South Carolina and Sears-Peyton Gallery, New York City. Furthermore, Reed’s works are in several public and private collections, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Art Institute of Chicago, Fidelity Investment Corporation, Boston and National Museum of Wildlife Art, Jackson, Wyoming. She is the recipient of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts Travelling Fellowship in 2013 and Maud Morgan Award from the Boston Museum of Fine Arts in 2005. Reed borrows visual fragments from predominantly 17th and 18th-century Northern European art, citing the artists of these works like a dutiful scholar.

Bird Concert (after Earlom)
By Shelley Reed
Located in Denver, CO
This is an oil painting on canvas and is monochromatic black. Reed's primary focus has been the rich vein of Northern European art from the mid-17th through 18th centuries, a period of enlightenment and profound interest in science, nature, and the animal world. Animals were assigned human traits (peacock:vanity; dog:fidelity), and nature itself was considered a symbol of God's providence - a commonly held belief within the stratified, gentry dominated social order of the time.

Midlife Madonna, Female in Teal and Red Silk Holding a Persian Cat, Oil Painting
By Rose Freymuth-Frazier
Located in Chicago, IL
Painted in the style reminiscent of the Old Master, Freymuth-Frazier brings the subject matter into the present. Here we see a woman - a self portrait - dressed in a sumptuous silk robe and gown, clutching a Persian cat yet with curlers in her hair. Painted during the early days of the pandemic, Rose takes her subjects from her surroundings, not necessarily her own experiences, but rather part of a larger experience of being a woman in today's society. Rose Freymuth-Frazier Midlife Madonna oil on linen 56h x 34w in 142.24h x 86.36w cm RFF047 Rose Freymuth-Frazier Employing the techniques of the past in the service of contemporary exploration, I seek to add a fresh voice to the sometimes venerable, sometimes dusty and archaic tradition of large-scale figurative painting, while subtly addressing the mythology, objectification and subjugation of women. My subjects are at first glance close to home-new mothers, friends, lovers, artists, dancers-but are then quickly placed at a distance via edgy modification, rigorous technique, minimal contexts and composition, and idiosyncratic use of color. I am also interested in social presentation, artifice, and simulation as they relate to my subjects. I hope to peel away a gossamer thin layer of reality, not just to document the real but also to reveal what might be. BIOGRAPHY Given my restless history, it is curious that I became a figurative painter in New York City. My maternal Grandparents fled Hitler's Germany in the late 1930's. After being refused entry to the United States, they were welcomed into the Dominican Republic, where they happily resided in a small orderly bungalow of their own design and made their living as studio photographer and cheese maker...
