Harold Reddicliffe
Vintage movie and slide projectors, model airplane engines, cameras, and microscopes are just some of the objects Harold Reddicliffe paints in a realist style. The mechanical subjects are carefully rendered with oils against a monochromatic background, drawing attention to combinations of color, light, form, and geometry. He has stated that his work explores “the transformation that occurs when ordinary objects are subjected to extraordinary scrutiny.” The result is compositions at once abstract and figurative, both formal studies and explorations of mechanics.
Born in Houston in 1947, Harold Reddicliffe received his B.A. from Williams College, and his M.F.A. in 1973 from the Hoffberger School of Painting at the Maryland Institute College of Art. Reddicliffe’s teaching includes positions at the Columbus College of Art and Design, Ohio from 1977-1984, and Boston University’ College of Fine Arts from 1987-present. He has been the recipient of two fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and a grant from the Artist’s Resource Trust. Reddicliffe’s work has been included in solo and group exhibitions across the country and sought after by private collectors and public institutions.
