Art Search is the exclusive representative of Reginald K. Gee, a well-exhibited, emerging self-taught artist who works with craypas on brown paper grocery bags and acrylics on canvas. Gee, who the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has touted as a "budding genius ... an artistic wunderkind," produces "stunning, complex visions" -- with contemporary subject categories including romance, music, entertainment, fantasy, landscapes and more. |
| Gee broke into the art world after showing a few pieces at a Milwaukee-area outdoor arts festival in 1986. Soon after submitting slides of his work to Dean Jensen, then an art critic for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Gee held his first exhibit in 1988 at Jensen's Gallery. | ![]() Poet's Bridge |

In recent years, Gee has participated in dozens of shows, including Souls of Black Folk, Folk Fest, The Outsider Art Fair, The National Black Fine Arts Show, and the Chicago Black Art Expo. Most recently Gee was invited to participate in In The Spirit Of Martin, a Smithsonian traveling exhibition set for 2002. Gee's work has been also been highlighted by the American Lung Association. |

In a review of Gee's first ever show, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel raved: "The work looks like, and is perhaps more authentic than, the garden variety of funky imagery ... Gee's pictures are full of undigested cultural and psychological fragments that float together in surprisingly engaging ways. This may be the last form of tribal art -- derived from pop culture and art magazines." |
