Devon Reid is a multimedia artist whose work focuses on the notion that all of life stems from an interconnected wholeness. “We are all but fragments from this whole and each fragment carries the knowledge of what it is to be fully interconnected; each work of art is thus an archaeological exploration of the intangible world and how it manifests in material form.” Her work questions the relationship between what we believe to be real and what is real. She uses layers and colour to create worlds of meaning where the perceiver may engage into layered realities, experiencing both the beauty of wholeness and the differentiated emergence of Self.
Born in Montréal, Québec (1969) Devon lived and worked in Amsterdam, The Netherlands for over 15 years, mentored by artist Hanneke Somer and employed by the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague to develop a program for personal leadership. Devon’s work has been exhibited at the 2013 Salon de la Société nationale des beaux-arts at the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris as well as in the Netherlands, France, Belgium and Canada. Her work is held in private collections both in Europe and Canada.
Devon is currently curating projects in Québec which support dialogue through the arts on current social issues as well as building relationships in communities.
