About

Text Box: Artist Statement Reid Bricker was born in Winnipeg Manitoba in 1982. Reid studied fine arts for over a decade covering numerous mediums and styles of art. Some of these styles include Graffiti, Carving, Sculpting, and Graphic art. The mediums Reid applies to those and other such forms of art include but also exceed: Oil, Charcoal, Ink/Pen, Pencil, shell, & stone. Graduating in 2001, Reid was accepted to U of M in Arts and Architecture. Over the years he has been recognized by the arts community. The WAG, Artstravaganza 01, “Young Artists on the Avenue”, MCC’s annual spring exhibition, and Canadian Prairie Carving Championship to name a few. Reid is a member of MISA Inc. a sculpting Co-op in the exchange district of downtown Winnipeg where he is now the acting treasurer. Some years prior to sculpting, Reid focused on incorporating his strengths with mediums and movement’s/style’s that best suited his own outlook. He began to incorporate Surrealism, graphic art and also considered the use of line, shading, depth perception and 3D space. Reid then used these concepts in his graffiti styled works, at which he became increasingly clever. Once advised that he would do well in architecture, Reid took first year courses in Architecture and Environmental Design at U of M. Reid did well but found that it was not for him. Taking “Math in Arts” at the university though, broadened Reid’s graphic style and now accompanies the discipline’s he currently works in. Reid studied art history from (Prehistory) 9000bce to 2000ce, and many other acknowledged Artists and Architects in greater depths. Reid‘s introduction to sculpture transpired at “Artstravaganza” in /01, where he sculpted in Quebec soapstone under the tutelage of Katharina Stieffenhofer (BFA, U of M). It was then that he realized his preference for sculpture in the three dimensional deductive method Katharina was demonstrating. For 3 years Reid sculpted under his own guidance.
