Klari Reis uses the tools and techniques of science in her creative process, constantly experimenting with new ways to apply materials and methods. She is driven by curiosity and her desire to explore and document the natural and unnatural with a sense of wonder and joy.
The artist currently works in San Francisco, close to one of the largest concentrations of life science companies in the world. Reis takes advantage of this proximity to collaborate with local biomedical companies and thus receive inspiration from the cutting edge of biological techniques and discoveries; this context grounds her artwork and lets her authoritatively explore the increasingly fuzzy line between the technological and the natural.
Klari Reis was recently commissioned to provide artwork for Microsoft Research in Cambridge, UK. A vinyl reproduction of the painting spans 5 and a half floors in the atrium of the building and each lift level has a graphic next to the elevator. Her work has also been acquired by Great Ormond Street Hospital and placed in the Morgan Stanley Clinical Building part of the Mittal Children's Medical Centre.
Her work has been exhibited worldwide and public collections include Microsoft Research in Cambridge, UK; Next World Capital's offices in San Francisco, Paris, and Brussels; the MEG Centre in Oxford, UK; Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines; The Peninsula Shanghai Hotel; Theo Randall restaurant in London's Intercontinental Hotel; Standard Life Investments in Bristol and London; Morley Fund Management, The Pullman Group, T.Rowe Price and Great Ormond Street Hospital (Morgan Stanley Clinical Building part of the Mittal Children's Medical Centre) in London; the Stanford University Medical Center Hoover Pavilion in California; and Elan Pharmaceuticals, Genentech, Acetelion and Cytokinetics in South San Francisco.
Klari Reis is represented by The Cynthia Corbett Gallery. Musing in Colour will be the artist's fifth solo exhibition presented by The Cynthia Corbett Gallery. The artist is based in her native Northern California where the presence of many of the world's top pharmaceutical companies and research institutions serves as her muse.
