Opening on Saturday, December 1st, 2018 at Hashimoto Contemporary at their New York City location is artist Michael Reeder’s solo exhibition, “DEADRINGER.”
Through the use of bold saturated color and graphic geometric patterns blended with figurative elements, Reeder’s work delves into the concept of self, and the innate human desire to be an authentic entity.
Skulls and hands are prevalent in the artists work, calling attention to both internal and
external physical elements that connect us all as humans. As we strive for uniqueness, we
are bound together through our humanity, highlighting the fact that we are ultimately the
same.
About the exhibition, Reeder states, “I wanted to focus on how similar we as humans are
regardless of our external differences and how desperately we attempt to stand apart in
society. We are all composed of distinct experiences, backgrounds, cultures, fashion
styles, careers, etc., yet it is all individually mashed up into a dead ringer, almost carbon
copied vessel - the human body. This concept is the underlying premise of DEADRINGER.”
The exhibition will be on view until December 22nd, 2018.
