HyperOpia - Untitled 0008 | Artist Proof

At first glance, the pieces reflect abstracted forms, imbued with moody cinematic tones, upon further interaction, the work becomes a whole. Friedman softened the transitions between colors and tones to create an out-of-focus, softened plane of form incorporating sfumato, a technique popular in Renaissance masterworks.

“I wanted the work to feel participatory. Not a static piece, but for there to be a refocusing of the conversation of the conventional, an abstraction of the familiar, evolving into a new nuanced interpretation. This is unlike anything I have ever done before.” states Friedman.
