This is the official website for Erik ReeL, North American visual artist, philosopher, and author of Pterodactyl Cries: Art, Abstraction, and Apocalypse.

Initially ReeL's work explored identity and sexuality before maturing into his current interrogation of our cognitive processing. The freedom of improvisation and the risk of unpredictable outcomes have also been central to the work.

Erik ReeL has exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara, Morris Graves Museum of Art, Corcoran Gallery of Art, Butler Institute of American Art, Seattle Art Museum, and in New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, South Korea, Japan, and Argentina. ReeL's work is in private collections based in Barcelona, Berlin, Buenos Aires, Chicago, Dubai, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Houston, London, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Montreal, New York, Paris, San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle, and Seoul. Public collections include the Morris Graves Museum of Art, Seattle City Light, City of Seattle, Czong Institute of Contemporary Art, Museum of Ventura County, and Whitman College.

Born and raised in Seattle, ReeL is currently based in Portland, Oregon, with his spouse, Rhonda P. Hill, founder of EDGE Fashion Intelligence.
