The famous American artist Shelley Reed again amazes us with unusual remakes. Shelley takes the canvases of famous masters as the basis for her works, changes the plots and rewrites them with oil paints, using only black and white shades.
In the process of work, the artist can increase the size of the canvas, change the composition and even remove, in her opinion, insignificant fragments. Shelley pays special attention to contrast, since it is thanks to it that the emotional content of the picture can be conveyed more vividly.
Shelley confesses: “I spend a lot of time in libraries studying old painting books. Now I am fond of paintings by artists of the 16th and 17th centuries. I am interested in how they portrayed their modernity. First of all, I try to find in these paintings what may be relevant now."
She draws her inspiration from the masterpieces of such masters as Gillis d'Hondecoeter, Jean Baptiste Charles Claudot, Alexandre-François Desportes.
Shelley Reid admits that she admires the versatility and longevity of the psychological power of images, especially animal images, despite time, space and changing eras.
