Lot description
Cliff Reid was born out bush with his mother and father, living a largely nomadic lifestyle. He grew up in the Jameson area and went to school for a short time at Warburton Mission. When he began painting in 2003 he concentrated his efforts on narrative works. He was essentially a story teller in life and in art. Reid lived at Papulankutja (also known as Blackstone) about 80km west of the tri-state (SA, WA, NT) border in the Ngaanyatjarra lands and approximately 1350 kms north east of Perth. He was a rare artist whose works stand alone in style from other artists in the region. In his raw, figurative fashion and bold powerful manner he painted Christian and traditional stories that directly communicate with the viewer. His works are instantly identifiable amongst those from a community of artists who generally paint using traditional symbolism or pure abstract form. Cliff died in 2010, leaving a unique artistic legacy along with a large and extended family.
