Michael Raedecker

Michael Raedecker's lack of color in his paintings describes his work as empty and open to one's own interpretation. In Brilliant Gloom, he uses some color, which draws all of the focus. Most of his black and white paintings look empty and in need of someone to color them in. This style differs greatly from vibrant artwork.
