Travelers and employees inside Miami International Airport’s Concourse D recently were treated to a hands-on art experience when the airport kicked off its Artist Demo Summer Series.
For two hours near gate D37, renowned Miami artist and illustrator Brian Reedy demonstrated how he brings his bold woodblock prints to life. He then got visitors into the act by teaching them how to create their own works of art so they could take a memento of Miami’s art culture home with them.
“I am proud to see MIA continue to elevate the passenger experience through creative and memorable moments like the new Artist Demo Series,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. “This initiative builds on the airport’s strong arts and culture presence by giving travelers a chance to engage directly with some of Miami-Dade’s most talented local artists.
“Alongside MIA’s award-winning art exhibition program, this series offers travelers new opportunities to experience the vibrant culture that makes Miami-Dade County so special,” the mayor continued. “Together, we’re ensuring that every visit leaves a lasting, positive impression of our community’s creativity and spirit.”
Reedy is known worldwide for his distinctive ink block prints on wood, which are influenced by traditional Ukiyo-e Japanese and European Medieval block prints. His imagery has been featured by brands like Hot Topic, Uniqlo, Random House, and Topps, and his designs have appeared on apparel, in movies, on television, and even in Broadway productions such as Hamilton in Australia and The Hollow on Broadway in NYC. His prints have also been showcased at galleries across the globe, from Chicago to Melbourne.
Reedy’s art stems from a lifelong fascination with dinosaurs, the paranormal, and the supernatural. His block prints incorporate elements of fantasy narrative, often inspired by his travels and the architecture of India, Japan and Thailand.
The new demo series continues with local botanical artist Donna Torres on Aug. 20 near D37 from 1 to 3 p.m.
