Artist: Theadis Reagins
Theadis Reagins Jr., a 17 year-old senior at the Cleveland School of the Arts, is a graphic artist with an eye towards portraiture. Using pencils, he explores his subjects from the inside out under the tutelage of artists like painter Antwoine Washington and the esteemed Edward Parker. Reagins Jr. talked with CAN about experimenting with paint, selling his art from an early age, and making a Lebron James-style announcement of his scholarship choice.
Theadis completed Cleveland Institute of Art's Pre College program and received recognition for his paintings. This year he received three Gold Key awards and two Silver Key Awards for his drawings which are currently on display at Cleveland Institute of Art Reinberger Gallery. His piece Grandfather Knows is currently on display at Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art. Proud mom, Angela Reagins, CMSD library media specialist, is thrilled about his accomplishments and excited about his future art endeavors.
