Dutch, London-based artist Michael Raedecker good at using mixed media to explore
familiar places and objects in everyday life. He found them on secondhand books or
magazines, like bed, telegraph pole, table cloth etc. as a painter he did paintings on large scale
canvas, but it is interesting to see the medium of embroidery on such surface.
Usually he likes use beige or grey-blue color to explore the nostalgic feeling in his works, this
kind of color is so ambiguous and feminine, same as the embroidery skill, besides he used it
in an architectural and masculine way, “Raedecker is brilliant in his combination of what are
each classified as traditionally feminine and masculine arts”
His
solo exhibition “Line-up” 2009 had high commendatory, there are fine string,
rough
thread and hair stitched into canvas over a layer of poured paint, he
threw out the idea of
inwrought pattern combine with painting and the
considered construct was fitted each other
well, also the colors he has chosen
can see as a family line of connection, the traces of broke
up the objects on
the surface into fragments can found in details, this ambiguity between
painting and thread really inspired me.
