Michael Warren Contemporary (MWC) is pleased to present “Small Works” a reconfigured installation of small works by Mark Rediske. This show will run concurrently with an exhibition showcasing large abstract works by Tom Hoitsma.

Mark Rediske lives and works in Seattle, WA. Mark Rediske earned his MA in painting from St. Cloud State in Minnesota in 1985. His reducedd palette reveals increasingly abstracted and gestural imagery in a series of timelessly elegant works. Rediske is interested in the malleable and transparent qualities of wax that he uses to create meticulously layered works in oil pastel and encaustic. Building up color and wax allows for a constructive and destructive process as Rediske abstracts the picture plane by drawing on and scratching away the surface of each piece.
