Drawing on draftsmanship, painting, literature, and installations,
Michael Tedja's oeuvre erupts into a flamboyant and visually
playful whole. His boisterous storms of imagery recall the CoBrA
movement of artists from Copenhagen, Brussels and Amsterdam briefly
banded together after World War II. Aiming to banish bourgeois
rituals as well as theorizing around avant-garde art, they embraced
expressionist spontaneity, an unrestrained use of vivid colors,
folkloric elements, handwriting and graffiti. But Michael Tedja has
taken out the folkloric and anti-intellectual, his painting is a
kind of IQ test. With abstract and figurative visual vocabulary
complementing each other, Tedja's imagery is expressive and
linguistic, full of references and autobiographical elements. This
monograph encompasses large-scale paintings, his overwhelming
installation of large drawings Hypersubjective, as well as The
Color Guide Series. Here, Tedja deploys textured paint, crayon and
chalk on commercial paper stock-the color bars printed along the
paper's edge are left exposed-turning mass-produced standard into
something decidedly unique. Yet by constantly recycling and
repurposing images, Tedja explores the alterability of meaning
within the visual context of globalization.
