Michael Raedecker was born in Amsterdam, Holland and lives and works in London. His paintings engage with craft tradition in a sophisticated way. Self-consciously bordering on kitsch painting Frisson personalises the genre of epic landscape painting. His vast mountains, created through layers of generously poured paint possess an icing-like texture; the trees are made of thick wool, stitched with rustic gusto. The sparkling highlights glitter in the snow from embedded lengths of metallic twine. Through his folksy technique, Michael Raedecker draws intimate connotation to his sublime theme: he portrays this vast emptiness with the cold comfort of homeliness.
