After last year solo show at the London’s ART13 fair, Katrin Fridriks is opening a duo show with Clemens Behr at this year’s ART14, represented by Circle Culture gallery – Berlin

With this body of work Katrin created @ her bustling studio in Paris, she took a new approach to some of her familiar concepts. Her ongoing play with the thickness and size of canvases continues with a brand new “lollipop” installation Ranging from 30 to 110cm diameter and 5 to 11cm thickness, the new and improved “lollipops” are installed and displayed on custom made plexi frame holders she created for this show.

Another novelty is usage of different color background on the side of her canvases, which is adding more depth and glowing effect to the displayed works, as well as the introduction of her first ever landscape orientation painting. Also, exciting news is that Katrin and her workshop developed a procedure that allows combining different techniques, which resulted in exclusive paintings that mix calm and liquid “leaking effect” style with expressive and splattering “Stendhal syndrome” effect.

Along with all these new original works, Katrin will be presenting a new series of hand painted prints titled “Bells Are Ringing”. By combining her familiar concepts and practices for this event, Katrin is opening new possibilities which she will further develop and expand through the works for upcoming events this year.
