Indepth Arts News: "Galactic Journal: Recent Paintings and Collages by Robert Reed" 2001-04-06 until 2001-07-05 Bayly Art Museum Charlottesville, VA, USA
If Reed's artistic production constitutes a journal, his new work conveys a vision of space exploration, both inner and outer. All the work exhibited has a common dominant form. More subtly, all are called school colors and incorporate, usually in a chromatic spread, the school colors of his middle and high schools as well as his undergraduate and graduate universities.
The chromatic spread includes red and black from Charlottesville's Jefferson High School and green and gold from Burley Middle School, which earlier was a high school. The orange and blue harken back to his time at Morgan State University, Baltimore, where he received his B.A., while the blue and white represent Yale University where he received his M.F.A. These symbolically unite his growing-up years in Charlottesville with his professional training and achievements as an artist and teacher. Reed currently lives in New Haven, Conn., where he is on the faculty at Yale.
The exhibition is supported in part by University Arts funds, the Office of African-American Affairs, and private contributions.
