Al Freeman (artist)

[1] In her sculptures, Freeman reproduces everyday objects at an exaggerated scale, rendering them puffy and tactile.

By presenting her works as partially deflated, she playfully imbues objects like a beer can, a hammer, or a lava lamp with a message of subverted masculinity.

[2] Freeman is currently represented by Carl Kostyál and 56 HENRY, which featured her in Soft Dirty Blonde in 2023[3], Floors in 2022[4], sweaty gray cotton tank top in 2020[5], and Cubicle in fall 2019.

[6] She also presented Pillows at Felix, Los Angeles, earlier that year, a reprisal of the exhibition first shown in 2017 at 56 HENRY.

[12] Freeman participated in the group show Local Objects at International Waters New York, NY,[13] as well as Museum of Modern Art and Western Antiquities, Section II Department of Carving and Modeling: Form and Volume, at Cristina Guerra Contemporary Art, Lisbon (2019).
