EP115 : MICHAEL REEDER
JUNE 2020
"That desire to have an illustration style has always been there…"
Michael Reeder is one of the hottest artists in the Urban Contemporary movement at the moment hands down. With roots in graffiti from his upbringing in Dallas Texas paired with a New York City art school education at SVA, Reeder is the perfect example of what the term Urban Contemporary tries to describe. His forward-thinking approach to materials and color schemes combined with a jarringly powerful and recognizable universe of imagery has given him an artistic voice that is entirely unique and incredibly sought-after by collectors across all spectrums of the art market. Whether on walls, in the studio, or through commercial collaborations with fashion and sports brands, Reeder’s work never fails to impress and can’t help but hint at the modest genius of the man who creates it.
