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.
