Reeves' drawings and paintings focus on the physical surface of painting. In his drawings he delineates each brushstroke from a painting paradoxically using a rigorous graphite contour line to produce the dense pattern of painterly gesture. Reeves investigates the inevitable gap between reality and representation: a space where the world is rationalized through visual conventions. Reeves has had recent solo exhibitions at Museum London, London, ON and Oakville Galleries, Oakville, ON; with recent group exhibitions at the Sichuan Institute of Fine Art, Chongquin, China; the Vancouver Art Gallery and the Musée des Beaux Arts de Montréal.
