Steve Riedell
Riedell’s work arises from a slow process of stratification and negation and this constructing and deconstructing is reminiscent of the passage of time. Each of his works can be considered as part of a journey in which one work leads to the next and indicates the path to be followed.
His works are universes made of words, shapes and layers of color upon which a constant flow of transformation is staged where the artist acts by questioning every gesture in order to reach other places which are no longer familiar to him, that are independent and capable of leading him far from himself in search of a new path.
The exhibition at Studio Trisorio features a selection of his works realized over the course of the last five years, large and small colored canvases together with several drawings from his Song Lyric series in which the texts of songs by Bob Dylan, Steven Patrick Morrissey and Van Morrison become geometric and narrative webs.
