Daniel Raedeke American, b. 1970

Daniel Raedeke continues his exploration of the converging boundaries of our physical and digital worlds. Just as natural objects and scenes are photographed, organized, downloaded and shared through various user interfaces, Adventure merges experiential and improvisational processes of painting and design. As undulating forms emerge and hover above a pixilated background of saturated colors, the image is captured using the artist’s methodical rendition, akin to a live photograph, skillfully combining a separate unity of movement and stasis. This juxtaposition is produced through the usage of layered, textured and organic surfaces, framed by graphically inspired color panels. Raedeke’s work crosses over many mediums incorporating the sculptural with painting and computer rendering to combine in works that are both object and image. His animated process of media integration conjures a unique, non-linear portal for the viewer.

Daniel Raedeke received his M.F.A. from Southern Illinois University in Edwardsville in 2000. Raedeke has been included in numerous solo and group exhibitions around the U.S. He lives and works in St. Louis.
