Nike Schroeder
Overview
I first started to use the stitches as lines, resembling the line of a pen in a drawing. Then there was a shift towards abstract work and a fascination for the mathematics of it, how to create a perfect gradient and the fact that most of the actual painting actually happens off the canvas.
German artist Nike Schroeder’s distinctive thread sculptures treat the stitch as an extension of the paintbrush. Her passion for color and movement allows her to convey emotions linked to nature, music, and storytelling. Schroeder earned her BA in Fine Arts at the University of Applied Sciences in Otterberg, Germany, before moving to Los Angeles in 2012. Her artwork is held in private collections throughout the United States and Europe and has been featured in numerous publications, including the San Francisco Chronicle, T Magazine, and Domino Magazine.
