Artist of the Day, April 22, 2026 : Tim Macfarlane Reid, an Australian sculptor (#2507)

Tim Macfarlane Reid lives and works in Perth, Western Australia. Macfarlane Reid came to sculpture after a successful career as a chef at Tetsuya’s, and is now a committed professional artist whose works are highly collectable. He is a graduate of the National Art School in Sydney, and has been a full time sculptor for over 20 years, with numerous solo and group exhibitions.

Macfarlane Reid predominantly works in corten steel, which allows his works to develop deep, rich colour over time. Inspired by the words of Jean Arp: "Art should lose itself in nature, should even be mistaken for nature", Macfarlane Reid’s sculptures are evocative of natural forms found in the landscape. These works emulate, reflect and mirror the beauty of the world around us.

Macfarlane Reid has won a number of awards, including two awards for works exhibited at Sculpture by the Sea. His work is found in both private and public collections, including the Town of Cottesloe Public Sculpture Collection, and the State Theatre of Western Australia.
