Tthere is a world that I feel in visually, and it’s inbuilt how I take advantage of paint.” There’s additionally a means that longtime Juxtapoz favourite, Sam Friedman, composes his work, the way in which he buildings canvases collectively that appear disparate however create a narrative. For years he has explored a relation between abstraction and nature, utilizing vivid and daring colours to mimick the wonder and nearly surreal energy of the pure world. However its additionally about paint and the act of portray as each a meditative and utilitarian act.
For Frieze week in Los Angles, Library Road Collective have introduced Friedman to LA for Composite Work, a brand new sequence of works which are freshly interacting with one another. Friedman cheekily refers to his “Composite Work” as “the recomposition of the element components from the decomposition of the unique composition.” And like nature, issues regrow and regenerate themselves every season, all the time in flux and altering with the occasions and its as if Friedman has devoted himself to mimicking each that phenomenon and his personal internal phenomenon within the studio. —Evan Pricco
