Chairs, curtains, plants, bungalow houses: the objects depicted in Michael Raedecker’s paintings are familiar things. Mute witnesses of our daily lives – the countless hours we’ve forgotten, the split seconds we will remember forever – they have the quality of stage props in an unending domestic saga. Raedecker’s approach to painting is to give traditional subject matter a new twist by using methods and procedures of picture making not usually associated with image based painting.
