In his latest works, stemming from photographs of erased graffiti, misha de ridder plays with the notions of destruction, generation, and transformation. Graffiti is a subversive, spontaneous form of communication meant for the masses. Through the work of misha de ridder, it is transformed and reimagined. Information that has been erased becomes information again, randomness as a surrealist technique. de ridder’s erased graffiti often appear abstract, capturing palpable razor-sharp details. Tactility of the walls and the diversity of shapes intensify the painterly quality of the work. de ridder's approach is ultimately about looking through physical reality. In that sense, his work is a continuous search for, in the artist's words, "unreal reality”. 'glitch' is a conceptual art project, a series of images that blur the lines between abstract painting, photography, animation, and protocol art. The project comprises physical fine art prints as well as 50 animated GIFs stored using a blockchain protocol.
