jim reed
Painter
Jim is an architect and painter. He is director of London based practice Reed Watts Architects, working with clients including the V&A Museum, the Open Air Theatre and the National Trust. His practice has also worked locally, designing Teddington Cricket Pavilion in Bushy Park.
Typically using nature for inspiration Jim’s paintings explore the tension between representation and abstraction, framed within carefully constructed compositions. His colourful marks are applied quickly, building layers that imbue the work with energy and purpose, while maintaining a looseness which allows space for interpretation by the observer.
Jim work has been exhibited at the Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy and the Affordable Art Fair in Hampstead.
