Reid Gardner - United States

Art Brokerage: Reid Gardner American Artist: " After years of learning craftsmanship, a painter gets the feel of his materials and learns what quiet miracles can be done with them. There are the words of Reid Gardner truly a painters' painter.Gardner belongs to that small group of nonconformist painters whose art is rightfully described as magic realism. Gardner achieves the incredibly real with an uncanny technical ability. A perfectionist to the final, minute detail, he has been known to work months on a single painting, even a year. He has never finished a painting in less than 90 days of painstaking detail work with brushes so small and fine they have only a few sable hairs. He is a miniaturist, but at the same time, an accomplished artisan of the broadest scope, equally at home in painting nudes or still life. Art Brokerage has a major painting for sale which is not showing. Inquire. Listings wanted.
