"….figurative painter Reid McLachlan explores time, life and death in powerful, explosive works that offer a compelling portrait of the themes that drive humanity. McLachlan's painterly and expressive style and highly individualistic approach to technique represent figurative art at its finest." Melanie Scott, Where Magazine.
