DESCRIPTION:
Satire in Art Susan Whittington That Parks has a great sense of humor, shown through his environmental themed art. Love the book.
Around this time he exhibited and sold paintings in numerous shows with these women. Some of his most vivid memories are of finger-painting at age 6 with his mother, under the tutelage of Ruth Shaw, the originator of the finger-painting medium. He currently lives in Livingston, Montana, where he loves to roam the mountains, rivers, and taverns, often in pursuit of wild game and fish. . Born, 1954
It’s good to make people think and laugh a little. The work of the Montana-based artist has graced gallery walls from coast to coast and publications such as the Los Angeles Times, Travel and Leisure, and The Montana Quarterly, among many others. As Reece explains, “Exploring social and environmental issues using light-hearted yet incisive lampooning is all for the best. “We are not apart from nature, we are a part of nature.” With that direct phrase, Parks Reece sums up how he approaches the natural world in a whimsical, surreal, humorous way all his own. Sometimes a few feathers get ruffled, but that’s all right if it gets the point across.” PRAISE FOR THE ART OF PARKS REECE “Magnetic works that hold our attention with their resplendent beauty and gentle satire…spellbinding…mystical.”—Chicago Tribun
