+ Galerie Max Hetzler

Michael Raedecker combines painting with different techniques of sewing and stitching. The combination of classic embroidery and minimal paint application pushes not only the boundaries of the medium painting but also explores the possibilities and the meaning of traditional craft in the art context. Raedecker creates works that address and expand the questions and expectations contemporary painting raises today and play with the meanings and clichés they provoke. The thread emphasizes contours, practically and quietly taking the topics in the works to their extreme. Its three-dimensionality and physicality enable certain friction and tension that characterize Raedecker's works.
