For example\, in the discolourations of a burnt slice of toast\, one might see the face of the Messiah. Or perhaps the image of Vladimir Putin in the soapy scum of a shower curtain. After finding some obscure images of an elephant and alien figure\, the artist gave up staring at the road… it was quite dangerous too and so he turned to a more fleet-footed graphical approach. \nThese graphics from the tarmac have been enhanced and the colours have been accentuated to a strident surrealism. Hong Kong\, Paris\, Tokyo\, London\, Rome\, New York\, Melbourne and Sydney and one photograph from Cairns Airport! \nMike Reed presents to you\, not so much “forty miles of bad road” but graphical and colourful sections of road on the gallery wall and much more in an exclusive innovative book\, certainly a desirable collectors edition. \nThe artist will also display in the smaller gallery a collection of his street photography in a salon style showing Recently Mike’s work was selected by the Editor of Life Framers in their ‘Street Life’ theme\, commenting on the “humourous visual narrative that Mike conjures through sharp timing and a clean composition”. \nTo view the complete catalogue\, please click here.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Artist’s Bio” tab_id=”1518320329651-b769a1a3-29e6905c-b0b3368e-b9ef2edb-f0663f53-09339c42-5cd9″][vc_column_text]\nIt is hard for friends and colleges to understand Mike Reed in any way other than what he did day in day out … and nights too. \nHe has been film editing for 42 years\, yet photography has always afforded him his only private creative outlet for all those years. \nPhotography was portable\, instantaneous and satisfying in his short breaks from the screaming schedules (editing and running the business was soaking up his concentration 60-100 hours a week). \nHis camera was always there as he roamed his backyard and afar\, eyes alert for something that would catch his attention. \nHe’s always been a hoarder\, all things rusty\, crusty and novel. Photography is a further collection of moments. Quirky and delicious. \nEditing trained his eye to detail\, decision and dialogue. Culture\, creativity and cooking are also amongst his other pursuits. \nSo now retired from the maddening advertising affray\, he is armed with his cameras and visual diary passionately pursuing his love of the world around him. \nmikereedphotography.com\n@mikereedphoto[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Programming” tab_id=”1651128036895-b6d7a1ed-4755″][vc_column_text]Artist Floor Talk: Saturday 7th May 12pm – 1pm \nPlease join Mike Reed as he shares stories about his artistic journey and how and why he made the photographic series Road Works. \nFind out more about this graphic work from the tarmac that has been enhanced\, with colours that have been accentuated to a strident surrealism.

Ever observant in this vast playhouse of life\, Reed endeavours to capture a unique\, unrepeatable moment in time\, a slice of reality\, and honest\, unstaged\, comical side at “f 8 and 1/125 “. No Photoshopping\, Instagram or Snapchat filters either\, and shooting always with a camera and not a phone. \nIn Reed’s early years\, he meandered the Elster Creek\, streets and lanes around East Brighton\, peeking into strangers’ backyards or just rambling for a quiet time alone. Reed’s father was a rag and bone man\, collecting iron\, copper and lead to make ends meet. Reed has assimilated him with his books\, art and human detritus and with now more so his photographic witticisms. With his first camera\, Reed ventured out at first to document his “sightseeing” and wanderings in a VW. \nIn 35 years as a film editor\, he observed\, selected\, evaluated\, spotted the good takes of wild or planned action rolling through at 25 frames a second. He learned to compute and react very quickly “to see”. So\, when not chasing deadlines\, Reed was out capturing the quirky world around him in grain and pixel during the short infrequent breaks in the torrent of brain numbing schedules. Now off the time line\, photography is number one priority for expression and creativity\, ever seeking the comedy or odd twist and from “outside the square”.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Artist’s Bio” tab_id=”1518320329651-b769a1a3-29e6905c-b0b3368e-b9ef2edb-f0663f53-0933ba3a-e619″][vc_column_text]\nIt is hard for friends and colleges to understand Mike Reed in any way other than what he did day in day out … and nights too. \nHe has been film editing for 42 years\, yet photography has always afforded him his only private creative outlet for all those years. \nPhotography was portable\, instantaneous and satisfying in his short breaks from the screaming schedules (editing and running the business was soaking up his concentration 60-100 hours a week). \nHis camera was always there as he roamed his backyard and afar\, eyes alert for something that would catch his attention. \nHe’s always been a hoarder\, all things rusty\, crusty and novel.
