Scott Reeder: The Sky and I Agree

Painter, sculptor, ceramicist, cinematographer, musician, curator and professor; Scott Reeder is a consummate artist.

For “The Sky and I Agree”, Scott Reeder’s second solo exhibition in Mexico, it was decided that the artist would occupy the space of Luis Barragán’s Casa Gilardi, both because of the architectural qualities of the space itself and because of the broad repertoire of experiences and histories that the house possesses – one notable example being David Hockney’s stay in Mexico during the 1980s.

 

In this exhibition, Reeder presents different bodies of work, which range from paintings from his acclaimed “Surrealist Still Life Paintings” series, and “Word Paintings”, to his incredible ceramics which reimbue the mundane objects that we use on a daily basis with unique character.

 

Reeder seeks to create an experience for the spectator as they move through the exhibition, instigating a kind of search in every one of the works distributed along the circular path that the house encourages, in a game of clues and discoveries – even entertaining the possibility that the viewer might confuse an object belonging to the space with one of his works, a trick that opens up a more lucid and playful reading through which to approach his artistic practice.

 

Likewise, the connection between Reeder and Hockney is a fact that cannot pass unnoticed, thanks to the landscape paintings that are the linchpin of this exhibition: scenes of naive and everyday landscapes, brimming with color and surrealism, where the perfect couple – composed of a slice of bread and a stick of butter – luxuriate in idleness and the contemplation of nature, as if time were frozen and tomorrow didn’t exist.
