Michael Raedecker : tour

Michael Raedecker (born 1963) occupies his own unique position with the field of contemporary painting. Essentially dedicated to figuration, he replaces the concrete surroundings of his motifs with fields of colour. His houses, plants and laundry pieces can be understood as critical analyses of painting and pictorial composition and are often characterized by a mystical atmosphere. Typical of Raedecker's works is the combination of paint and thread. The contours of his motifs are developed as three-dimensional drawings with the aid of coloured woollen threads embroidered into the canvas.
