At the end of this month, the Iceland native artist Katrin Fridriks will exhibit her first solo show at the Circleculture Gallery in Berlin.
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!
The exhibition “Leak of Information” takes place from the 28th of April to the 28th of May 2011.
Katrin Fridriks, born 9 August 1974 in Reykjavík (Iceland), is a conceptual painter. 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.
