Bernie Reid
Ceci n'est pas une pipe
Bernie Reid sources discarded pieces of linoleum and vinyl to make ‘rugs’. Referencing Persian and Caucasian carpet designs and early 20th century decorative schemes, Reid reinvents and repurposes traditional patterns and forms to paint in trompe l’oeil (a French term translating as to ‘deceive the eye’) directly onto lino remnants. Reid is also part-inspired by the long standing Easter European tradition of painting ‘rugs’ directly on to stone floors or floorboards by using hand-cut stencils.
