L’arte anatomica di Michael Reedy
The human figure and portraiture have been central to my studies and explorations as a practicing artist for the past twelve years. In a desire to extend beyond historical modes of representation, I have found myself increasingly interested in depictions of the body that fall outside the canon of art history, namely in cartooning and medical illustration. Ultimately, I believe that by combining the visual language and style employed by various modes of representation, both inside and outside the accepted boundaries of fine art, I can locate and capitalize on unique areas of resistance essential to the production of new meaning.
Non prendiamoci in giro: vado matto per l’anatomia umana. Non potevo quindi non rimanere esterrefatto davanti alle opere di Michael Reedy, con quello stile così moderno e leggero, quella straordinaria cura e il realismo nelle rappresentazioni anatomiche, e diciamolo pure, con quel tanto di gusto non-sense che non guasta mai.
