(On The Paris Christ)

La Dépêche du Midi December 2006


'Coup de coeur...évoquant la nature complexe de l'être humain.' (Expo Gallery Amacla 2006)


Financial Times 2005


Reid's work 'gives a sense of vulnerability and challenge' (Mark Vernon Financial Times Jaunary 2005)


Manchester City Life Magazine August 2001


'These figures seem more alive than the word "figure" or "sculpture" implies... Reid seems to have re/created creatures that have their own existence in mind... his "people" seem to scream, albeit silently.' (Bex Shaw on Chorlton Mill Solo Show, August 2001) 



Mark Vernon on Madonna and Child, St Matthew's, Westminster January 2001


'Its embodiment is modern, sexual, accessible... Reid's work clearly touches a nerve, for nudity, theology and representation are a heady mix, powerful but dangerous.' New Statesman February 2001) New Statesman


Catholic Herald January 2001

Brian Brindley on Madonna and Child, St Matthew's, Westminster
'Ugly... this object is so profane as to be almost blasphemous, and should be locked away in the vestry, available for inspection only by serious scholars.' (Catholic Herald, January 2001)


BBC GLR on First Solo Show, London


'A powerful intimate exhibition. If I had to choose between Reid's show and "Abracadabra" at the Tate, I would chose the former.' (BBC, July 1999)
