CARTER presents is pleased to announce their second solo exhibition with Brian Reed. For this exhibition Reed has produced a new body of work constructed from crumbled and twisted sheets of steel, coloured with deeply emotive black tinged with hues of purple and blue, coupled with fiery and deep reds.

These new textural colour field works continue Reeds exploration into the relationships of human interaction and develop on the concepts formed in the pervious series Sanitised; a series of blacked out portraits of persons wanted for crimes of a violent and sexual nature, their images sourced from police websites.

In these new works Reeds metaphysical investigations into malevolent desire and the disturbance surrounding this attitude, bring the duality of emotions experienced by the parties involved in an encounter of malice to the fore through visceral textured mark making and sensual colours.

Accompanying these pieces are ‘found photography’ works from the on-going series In-between the Noise. This series appropriates discarded photographs of personal imagery through enlarged reproductions with the appropriation acting as an invasion on personal privacy and our attitudes to public and private identities.

Brian Reed recently exhibition in Unrealised Potential at Cornerhouse Manchester and WALLS at UNION gallery in London and has work placed various private collection in the UK and Europe.
