Philip Reeves

As Head of Printmaking at Glasgow School of Art Reeves has influenced many artists across the country and the generations.He is well known for his etchings, collages and paintings.

In many of his works his purposeful and sensitive use of collage helps to emphasise the features of the landscape, the texture of the earth and rock , and the faults and fissures on the cliff faces. In other works it is the physical shape of the landscape which seems to concern him.

He has had solo shows in the Fine Art Society, London,Compass Gallery and Cyril Gerber Fine Art.

Public collections include:
Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Scottish Art Council, Contemporary Arts Society, Department of Environment; Glasgow, Aberdeen Dundee and Perth Art Galleries, Lillie Gallery, Milngavie, Hunterian Gallery, Glasgow, V&A and various Universities and Education Authorities.
