American • b. 1965

Biography

Tom Friedman is a multimedia artist working mainly in sculpture and works-on-paper. Interested in looking at the thin line between fantasy and autobiography, Friedman often creates works that push viewers into a complicit state of witnessing. His sculptures are composed of a multitude of objects, and he assembles them in such a way as to transform the mundane into an intricate work of art. He combines materials such as Styrofoam, foil, paper, clay, wire, hair and fuzz through a labor-intensive practice that seeks to tell a story, whether about himself or the world at large.

Friedman's approach to autobiography is not memoiristic. Rather, he takes the smallest moments of his life, like a piece of paper found on the street, and blows it out of proportion.

Insights

In Spring 2015, Friedman's large-scale sculpture, Looking Up, was acquired by The Contemporary Austin and permanently installed at their Laguna Gloria campus.
He is represented by Luhring Augustine, New York.

"What interests me is my inability to process everything that I am confronted with: the more closely I inspect something, the less clear it becomes."
