About the Item
"Early Morning on the Old Town Bridge" is an original oil pastel drawing by Reginald K. Gee. The artist signed the piece on the back. It depicts three figures--a couple walking towards the viewer and a single man doing a handstand--walking on a bridge away from a skyline.
40" x 28" art
Reginald K. Gee was born in Milwaukee on April 28, 1964 to Native American and African American parents and spent most of his childhood on the northwest side of Milwaukee in the Havenwoods neighborhood. Gee has been creating art since 1982, and his professional art debut began in 1986 at an outdoor exhibition at Milwaukee’s Performing Arts Center. Gee is primarily self-taught. He refers to himself as a visionary Neo-Expressionist. Like the Neo-Expressionists, his work is characterized by its raw depiction of subjects, the use of textural and expressive brushwork and intense colors. According to Sotheby’s auction house, Neo-Expressionist art, “[a]s a reflection of the postmodern world,” is characterized by a “sense of tension, alienation and ambiguity” and is “often accompanied by playfulness and parody.” Gee counts among his artistic influences Pablo Picasso, Francis Bacon, Willem de Kooning, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and David Salle. He is a brilliant colorist who has produced a body of work numbering in the hundreds, including a series of pastels on brown paper bags executed from 1999-2007, some of which were among the works shown at a 25-year retrospective at the David Barnett Gallery in 2013. The artist has been featured at the Outsider Art Fair in New York, the National Black Fine Arts Show, and the Chicago Black Art Expo. In 2002, two of Gee’s paintings, The Inspiration and Honest Crowd, were selected for inclusion in a Smithsonian traveling exhibition honoring the legacy of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Another Gee painting, Nationwide Tobacco Ban, c 1998, was chosen for a campaign against smoking sponsored by the American Lung Association. According to the Milwaukee Journal in 1999, the artist had a spiritual epiphany that compelled him to move to San Francisco, start a ministry among the homeless, and continue to pursue the art career he began in Milwaukee.

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.
