Thomas Baedeker was born in
Since 1996 the "career hopper", who started his professional life by training as an insurance salesman, has successfully landed as a painter-photographer after a near fatal car crash. Although fanatically devoted to his initial career, he had forgotten to insure himself. Penniless and without formal training, at thirty he began life anew as an artist.
Through his previous business contacts, which he has built up and maintained
over the years, Baedeker moves round the art-world stage confidently. In
many cases friendships have developed with old clients, enabling an intimacy
and camaraderie that has preceded Baedeker into the world of art.
In much of his work, pictorial structures and compositional lines relate to the abstract perfectly and coherently. Particularly those images with two or more colors in dialogue and which appear atmospherically loaded, almost three dimensional. Most particular, in the artist’s series titled Colorforms.
