About the Item
Eric Friedmann
Dirt, 2018
Acrylic polymer and pigment on canvas
80 x 74 cm
International Fine Arts Consortium and IFAC Athina present Eric Friedmann in his premier solo
exhibition in Athens with a new series of paintings and drawings inspired by the philosophical
détournement of desire, emotion, and knowledge which are used as points of departure into the
dialogue of the urban landscape.
Friedmann’s work encourages the viewer to question their place in the late post-modern
Odyssey. This conceptually extends beyond the locality of Homer’s poetic myth and the historical
footnote of Plato’s totalitarian romantic illusion or the transcendental ideal. The artworks help
us to rediscover a liberating solace buried just below the surface, not exactly imitations of imitations
in a nonsensical art world framework but still ruins upon ruins upon ruins non-the-less still
waiting to be discovered like a recurring dream or memory.
The figure and ground alternate and inherently possess us to continue on the quest for meaning.
The mark making is sometimes crude and immediate, seemingly naive, but given further
time and consideration you understand the confidence and precision the artist uses to engage
the viewer in each work. The totality of the exhibition allows for a potentially infinite number of
interpretations and provide us with a complex narrative texture to explore. Friedmann’s artworks,
akin to the New York School, extract a rawness and authentic freedom through his
process and assist us to access our direct experience of natural truths and to awaken from the
dogma of 20th century art.
Eric Friedmann (b.1961) is a painter and sculptor based in New York. He graduated summa
cum laude in fine art and existentialist philosophy at Ithaca College, and later attended the
School of Visual Arts. Since 1992, Friedmann has split his time and practice between New York,
Germany, and Switzerland. His work focuses on the structures and systems of thought, and
their simplification for a greater understanding of contemporary archaeology as it relates to current
philosophies of art, politics, and feminism.

By Jean-Pierre Rives
Located in Miami, FL
Born 1952, Saint Simon, France
Jean-Pierre Rives is an internationally renowned sculptor, and painter, as well as a Hall of Fame rugby player.
After retiring from rugby in the early 1980s, he discovered the work of sculptor Albert Feraud. Discussions with the artist inspired him to pursue his own art practice, working scraps of abandoned steel into fluid, curvaceous forms.
In his frequently monumental work, the softness of the curve is juxtaposed against the hardness of the material. Rives says about his practice, "I always seek to bring 'lightness' to the ‘heavy'; romanticism and poetry to the rigid; and sculpt an industrial masterpiece that harnesses innovation with energy. My sculptures are pieces of reality: their rust marks a measure of time, honouring the past while celebrating the future."
Rives has exhibited his work in galleries, museums, and public spaces around the world including the Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris (an honour previously held exclusively by Rodin), Sculpture by the Sea (a renowned international public sculpture exhibition in Sydney, Australia), and Dag Hammarskjold...
