1275 Minnesota St / Jack Fischer Gallery

Nike Schroeder has developed her style over a number of years, first in Berlin and more recently in Los Angeles where she is now based. Her current work includes mixed media with machine embroidery where the stitch is an extension of the paintbrush, and pieces using hanging rayon threads where subtle gradation of color combined with the lucidity of the thread make her a popular artist worldwide. The quality of hanging threads invites the viewer to interact and is sensitive to the movement and airflow around it. “It IS the actual piece. The canvas is just the tool to hold them.” She said.

Cityfold marks her first solo exhibition with Jack Fischer Gallery. This new body of work is an aesthetic exploration and interpretation of the urban landscape of DTLA visualized through painted and abstracted shapes and folds. Taking a minimalist approach, the work intends to transport just enough information to pull the viewer into a world of layered and folded forms nurturing a sensitive observation of urban moments which are often and easily bypassed.

In 2009, Schroeder earned her BA in Art Therapy/Fine Arts at the University of Applied Sciences in Ottersberg before moving to Los Angeles in 2012. Schroeder has had solo exhibitions of her work at Walter Maciel Gallery as well as in Germany and the US including her site specific lobby installation at the Museum of Art and History in Lancaster, CA. In the last two years Schröder’s work appears in the SF Chronicle, T Magazine and in Domino Magazine in a feature on designer Emily Henderson’s home amongst others .She has been commissioned to produce works for numerous private collections as well as international magazines and Germany's largest Textile Trade Fair Munich Fabric Start. Schröder has participated as an artist in residence at the Izyur Festival in Kudymkar, Russia.
