Folded-Over Painting (white),2010,19 x 15 x 2.25”



‘Steve Riedell (American, b.1954) is a artist known for his three dimensional, mixed-media paintings. Born in Inglewood, CA, Riedell studied at Moorpark College and the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. In his early works, he experimented with pale colors and gradually transitioned into stronger palettes, which included bottle greens, fire-engine reds, and neon oranges. In his well-known series of "folded-over" paintings, Riedell developed an oil and beeswax surface on a flat canvas, which was then cut and applied—or folded over—a geometric wooden armature, with traces of the process still visible in the final work.’ Artnet
