Michael Raedecker
(Sensoria)
*1963 Amsterdam
Privé bezit, 2000

His works are a mixture of Hockney bungalow and Kiefers loneliness painted as a location of a movie. People do not live in those partly embroided and in one or two colors painted loneliness. In this painting you see a bedroom from a arbitrary catalogue. The bedroom seems to be filled with water with at some places embroided jelly-fish. According to Raedecker his paintings are not about houses but about memory. I actually think that the paintings are about the serenity of a lack. There are no people, tabels, chair and what ever, the only thing, is you, emptiness. Because who is actually saying that the bungalow is not full of furniture and that the man and woman did not rise out of bed. In short we are alone.
