About the Item
PHOTO SNEAK is an original oil pastel drawing on brown paper grocery bag by the self taught African American artist Reginald K. Gee, born April 28, 1964, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Gee is known for his Visionary Art filled with comical, expressive faces, figures, and colorful, surreal landscapes and seascapes. He is of African and Native American (Blackfoot/Choctaw) descent.
PHOTO SNEAK is a zany abstract landscape scene depicting a lone photographer portrayed as a dark, spidery figure kneeling on the ground with a large camera, his head covered under a drape stealthily creeping along toward the water's edge as the sun sets. An ominous sky looms at the top of the composition, appearing as a mass of mixed smudged together colors with a hot white sun peering just above the dark horizon line. Fascinating and witty, Reggie Gee's imagination is truly unique!
PHOTO SNEAK is in excellent condition, UV protection archival framing, natural wood dark grey finish frame.

According to Contemporary American folk art: the Balsley Collection: “His paintings are figurative, abstract, surreal and narrative; they express, through the use of uninhibited color, the artist's views of contemporary society.” In this book, Gee is quoted as saying, “A good piece of art is like a splendid city. It will continually offer and you hardly receive the entirety." Upscale Magazine featured Gee in its April 2010 issue, “A Man Apart. Reginald Gee Draws Inspiration From The Human Experience.”

Reginald K. Gee
Reginald K. Gee, a contemporary artist of African American and Native American heritage, is known for his visionary Neo-Expressionist art. Some of the themes explored by this artist include playful musicians, surreal landscapes and seascapes, mystical dreams and fantastic visions.
Gee, born in Milwaukee in 1964, is emerging as a national tour de force on the contemporary art scene. He is a self-taught artist and writer, and his interpretation of subject matter is unique, inventive and illustrates his command of expression in form, color and language. The artist incorporates his own visionary images, symbols, and numerology into his work.
Gee's paintings are figurative, abstract and narrative, expressing through the use of uninhibited color the artist's views of contemporary society. When asked how he learned about art, Gee replied, "I didn't. I still haven't learned. You just do it.” The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel describes Gee's art as "tribal art derived from pop culture and art magazines.”
In recent years, Gee has participated in dozens of shows including "Soul of Black Folk" and the "Chicago Black Art Expo." Gee is influenced by Picasso, de Kooning, Francis Bacon, Jean Michel Basquiat and David Salle. He currently resides in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
