Sam Friedman, Untitled, paper collage, 2014
In his West Coast debut, artist Sam Friedman departs from his well-known paintings to unveil over 200 new collages that continue his exploration of the natural world. Sam Friedman is a highly recognized painter known for his dismantling and reinterpretation of the natural landscape. His study of line, color and form is a balance of dichotomies; fluidity and precision, representational and abstract, ease and spontaneity. His art practice has been heavily informed by his tenure as a studio assistant to the artist KAWS, as well as his commercial experience creating artwork for companies and publications such as The New York Times. The exhibition is the artist’s first exhibition utilizing the medium of collage--a striking shift from his distinctive paintings. While his paintings are generally large-scale, the new works are engaging 7"x7" and 6"x9" vignettes depicting abstract landscapes and elements of the natural world.
