Michael Reedy: Prodigious Piffle

Michael Reedy is a multimedia artist based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, whose work focuses on representing the human figure in ways that lie outside of art historical tradition. The large-scale artworks in Prodigious Piffle pull from imagery one might see in cartoons or anatomical illustrations like those found in medical textbooks, and all serve, as Reedy says, “to underscore the comedic tragedy of physical existence, as well as the frailties that increasingly define our sense of self as we age.”
