Notes

Raedecker's haunting, deserted landscapes are both familiar and unsettling. They show marginal places, dry and arid planes or valleys, barren woods, lone buildings smothered in thick blankets of snow, or half-glimpsed through the gloomy twilight. Raedecker carefully avoids any kind of explicit narrative in his paintings; he creates evocative images that have a dreamlike, cinematic quality, like dramatic stage sets waiting for the actors. Virginia Button, 2003.
