A Fine
Day for Sailing |
Growing
up moving throughout Latin America he continued practicing on
the new models from Detroit, then on original designs of
mid-ship engine GTs. He constructed two of his original designs
from sheet plastic, mounting one on a 1/18th chassis of an XJ
220 Jaguar and the other on a Lamborghini Diablo chassis. These
were awarded second and first place at the Northern Virginia
IMPSI modelers shows in 1996 and 1997 respectively. Knowing that
he did not have the funds to build his own exotic designs he
settled instead on doing paintings of the more impressive cars
of his childhood and early adult years.
Today he freelances as an automotive artist and has accepted and
completed many commissions form classic car owners across the
country and in Canada. He is already a recognized and
established American Automotive artist. He has licensing
agreements with Carroll Shelby and The Auburn, Cord, Duesenberg
Co., which allows him to sell reproductions of his art work with
their authorization.
Rick is proud to have had a print of his work, Auburn in
Asheville, represented in one of Americas most prominent
automotive museums, the Auburn, Cord, Duesenberg Museum in
Auburn, Indiana along with other important American automotive
museums he is not at liberty to disclose on this site. Mercedes
Benz commissioned the work �A Fine Day For Sailing� of a
300SL which now sits in a San Jose, California dealership.
Rick paints in acrylics and also does digital art. He loves old
cars but is also an environmentalist and has begun a series of
environmental paintings. This endeavor will take time, money and
a strong commitment. He wishes this new direction in art to make
a statement about man�s relationship with his environment and
his impact on it. Each era is defined by its art and its better
art conceptualizes in a more satisfactory way a current
society�s place within its surroundings. Often this art is a
reflection of a new view of man�s place in the scheme of
things or a radical change in the physical world he occupies or
the spectrum through which he views it. With this new movement
Rick will be taking a risk in presenting a not always pleasant
portrait but after all art requires risk taking. |

Dan Reid is a self-taught Western Canadian artist who has spent all his life on the prairies. Growing up on a farm in Saskatchewan instilled in him an appreciation for the ever-changing moods of the prairie landscape and its beautiful open skies.
His interest in the vanishing prairie elevator as well as antique cars is reflected in many of his paintings which provide a nostalgic glimpse into Canada�s past.
Dan currently lives in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. His travels throughout western Canada provide him with a constant source of inspiration for his paintings.
Dan�s other interests include snowboarding in the winter and, in the summer, he and his wife Jean drive their 1931 Chev street rod around Saskatchewan and Alberta where they enjoy attending car shows and meeting other car enthusiasts.

With
admission into the Bachelor of Fine Arts program at Sir Wilfred
Grenfell College in September 2006, Mark released the
"Relentless" collection of paintings. While of various
themes, Mark has said that the title of the collection
"represents my drive, at this time, to be more relentless
with promotion and finding where my work fits in the
world." November 2006 saw the creation of the poster for
Theatre Grenfell's stage production of Nicholas Nickleby, Parts
1 and 2, of which Mark had designed.
Into the Winter of 2007, Mark released "Embrace
catastrophe", a collection of darker, two-to-three tonal
paintings with stark, perplex images. A practice of working more
tonally is seen with the release of "Foward to
Folklore", another painting collection released in March of
2007. Mark also made work in Digital and video art, creating
{Stills} (2), a website branch for digitally manipulated images
(Much like {stills} showing original photography) and
"Target Audience (parts 1 & 2)" respectively.
In April 2007, Mark selected and exhibited 4 recent works in Oil
and Mixed media into "123ART!", the SWGC Art Gallery
Student Exhibition. |
