The Conspiracy Makers – An Exhibition of Paintings by Caleb Reid
For me, each painting is a dialogue between the canvas and me, a conversation that evolves with every layer of paint. The process is intuitive, driven by an inner impulse rather than a preconceived idea.
The title work for this exhibition ‘The Conspiracy Makers’ delves into the enigmatic nature of those who craft conspiracy theories. These figures are like phantoms, unseen architects of intricate narratives that influence the collective consciousness. Through shadowy imagery, I explore the idea that conspiracy makers operate from the shadows, manipulating perceptions without revealing themselves. ‘The Conspiracy Makers’ invites viewers to question the sources behind the narratives they encounter and reflect on the power and danger of these invisible influencers.
My paintings are a reflection of the spontaneous and each piece is a unique expression of the journey rather than the destination. It invites viewers to experience the raw, unfiltered essence of creativity, to see the art not as a finished product but as a living, breathing entity that continues to evolve with each gaze.
Exhibition runs : Friday 19 July – Thursday 8 August, 10am – 3pm
BSA Project Space: 112 Dalley Street, Mullumbimby, NSW 2482
