they have some available

[sharpster]

thanks for the info guys!

[sakyamuni]

for info, two were for sale at Moniker, quite large format, one 150x150cm and was 9000£, the other one 180x180 was at 14000£.
Prices were on the high side at Moniker so 20% less should be closer to the right price....

[sharpster]

agree with atomic on this .... one day I ll own one

Reminds me a little of Holton Rower.
Another female artist using the 'pour painting' technique...
Simple. Amazing. Try watching it and not wanting to have a go yourself!

KATRIN FRIDRIKS - LEAK OF INFORMATION - SOLO SHOW
At Circleculture Gallery - Berlin
April 28 - June 4

At the end of this month, the Iceland native artist Katrin Fridriks will exhibit her first solo show at the Circleculture Gallery in Berlin titled "Leak of Information".

The exhibition vernissage will be hosted by Circleculture on April 28th from 7pm-9pm.

Have you ever had this odd feeling that they do not tell us everything, that some elements of the story are deliberately hidden? Either the lie is too big to be swallowed or the ...truth is so well concealed that the affair is known a long time after, thanks to people who have led an investigation, decoding messages and in many case have fought against a system. This is what “Leak of Information” means and with what it deals. The bells are ringing: (public) awareness!

Leak of Information is metallic, just like our technology-based contemporary time. With a new well-defined colorimetric using “silver, gold, steel, cooper, aluminium” as backgrounds/shadows, drawing from platforms/heart of planet earth, Fridriks is taking us deeper. Playing with colors and their own reflects, she is casting a new light on our society and its dynamics. Moreover, the enlargement in size and shape of her drippings heightens the movement of her kinetic abstract paintings, giving a rhythm and a stronger denseness. Displaying her artworks on different supports and materials such as round-shaped canvas, poly gravure papers, through wires and cables, the exhibition is rich and complex.

KATRIN FRIDRIKS, born in Reykjavík (Iceland), is a conceptual painter living and working in Paris (France). Having spent many years in several countries, on different continents gave her a certain open-mindedness and cultural wealth which can be felt on the canvas: a clever mix of the wilderness of her native Iceland, abstract expressionism, minimalism - spearhead of the Bauhaus -, a combination of calligraphic work, tribute to the expertise of the Far East, graffiti, a controlled and thorough pop culture colorimetric. Her passion for architecture inspired her to create conceptual installations still using canvas and paint. Beyond her resolutely modern pictorial expression, Katrin Fridriks is continuing her research into matter and color with the avowed intent to place technique at the service of artistic expression. Creating new perspectives, her work brings an innovative dimension to abstraction.

Amazing artist.
Can't wait to see her new works.

wish I could afford an OG!

[tobaum]

She had produced some new og on paper more affordable than canvas.
Try to contact The Future Tense Gallery.

To say that PDF pics don't do her work justice is an extraordinary understatement...absolutely AMAZING talent! Ed at Future Tense is exceptionally cool and easy to deal with as well.

[Daniel Silk]

Hi

Does anyone know the best place to buy work from Vermin or Katrin fridriks?

Also anyone got any idea on prices? I have a feeling they might be a bit out of my price range.

Thanks

[Zippy]

For fridriks best to speak to Ed at the future tense. Paper works I think are £3k ish rising to £5k for canvas's.

Vermin works you need to contact mike at art-el. Waiting list for his upcoming show. Canvas's selling on here for £400-600.

Circleculture Gallery has tons of Fridriks. They are pricey.

[kunstrasen]

Circleculture Gallery just got a bunch of great new artworks in by Fridriks. Canvases starting around £5k and some works on paper for around £2.5K. Not talking small pieces, they are all well sized.

[Blakeies]

What are everyone's thoughts on her work? From the couple people I have talked to, they love her work in person.

Getting a canvas from her is my 2012 goal. I am giving up buying pretty much everything in order to reach this goal.

I will likely never be able to see her work in the flesh outside of one work on paper that a member here has locally and I'll check out (hi Cardiff!).

Her work looks incredibly unique to me in the abstract world.

So what are your thoughts for the people that have enjoyed her work in person?

I may slip off to bed soon, but will be back to join the discussion!

[bernard]

Not keen, all looks a bit candy coloured swirls to me, im sure im in a minority though and there wil be lots who love her stuff (esp those who have bought it of course).
