Reece Adair (b. 2000) is a Manchester School of Art 2021 graduate residing in Oceans Apart Studios, Manchester.
Specialising in oil painting, Reece’s current practice deals with painting liminal, nature-like spaces occupied by primordial renditions of the figure.
He attempts to confront the interior and exterior reflections of the body and its parallels to nature. He finds ways to dismantle the figure and distort the sense of space it inhabits, resulting in these obscured painterly realities.
