Caris Reid is a painter whose works depict an ethereal, symbolic world of blooming flowers, rhythmic plants, and hypnotic stars. Influenced by her interest in mysticism, the California landscape, queer ecology, and meditation, her practice taps into both the familiar and the mysterious. Each subject represents the nexus between the physical world and the spiritual world, while every detail is coded and ripe with meaning. Based in Los Angeles, the artist has presented solo exhibitions at Over The Influence Gallery, Los Angeles, CA; Denny Dimin Gallery, New York, NY, and Ochi Projects, Los Angeles, CA; among others. Additionally, her work has been included in group exhibitions at venues that include The Landing, Los Angeles, CA; Sargent’s Daughters, New York, NY; Longhouse Projects, New York, NY; SEASON, Seattle, WA; and The National Arts Club, New York, NY.

In Intertwined, two flower stems cross and bend towards one another, while a row of wavy leaves point upwards along the bottom of the composition. Pink petals and nebulous, thin filaments radiate from blue centers that appear like mysterious portals, while the flowers’ pointed edges emulate the stars that glimmer across the dark night sky. A cosmic undertone pulses through the image, laden with an ambiguity that gives way to limitless interpretation. As with other works by Reid, viewers are invited to commune with the subconscious. For this limited edition series, the artist will create unique color combinations by hand painting over the stem and leaves on each print.
