Michael Riedel — collaged posters on canvas
Michael Riedel

collaged posters on canvas

Michael Riedel's *Collaged Posters on Canvas* exemplifies his signature approach of layering fragmented visual information into a unified composition, blurring the boundaries between reproduction and original creation. Drawing from his self-described "self-sustaining" practice, Riedel reintroduces elements of the art world back into itself, creating a cyclical dialogue between source material and new form. True to his reputation as a "photocopying machine," the work seamlessly merges disjointed imagery into a single, cohesive canvas that challenges conventional notions of authorship and originality.

Medium
Michael Riedel’s practice incorporates a wide range of media including canvas, video and installations. He proclaims his artistic practice as “self-sustaining”, as a means to “reintroduce the system of art into the art system.” Riedel has been nicknamed a “photocopying machine”, a title that reflects his amalgamation of disjointed elements onto a single, cohesive canvas.
