Fridriks’ paintings erupt, stretch and fold like a deluge of hot lava. Her inky, multi-coloured abstract forms are created with thick mixes of acrylic that are dripped, thrown and spun onto large canvases using a plethora of techniques that Fridriks has developed and refined over the past decade. Shifting the weight of her body with swift and decisive motion, Fridriks’ controlled spontaneity has the sharp design and explosive dynamism of the landscapes of her home country, Iceland. While her paintings share qualities with Abstract Expressionism, Fridriks’ practice has conceptual depth beyond the canvas. A study of movement, the environment, biology, gravity, speed and technology, the keen and socially engaged intellect of Fridriks’ work is as vibrant as the formal innovation of her paintings.
