Fred Friedrich
Alfred Erwin Günter Friedrich (born 25 January 1943, in Kreuzberg, Berlin) is a painter, sculptor and multidisciplinary artist.
Friedrich spent his childhood in Wriezen, though his city had been heavily bombed a few months before the end of World War II, causing his family to move.
Together with George Baselitz, Emanuel Scharfenberg, Fritz Reuter, Gerson Fehrenbach and twelve other artists, Friedrich cofounded the gallery Grossgörschen.
The use of familiar materials to express ideas was influences be Beuys, Vostell, who used fat, carpet onces and the other machine, metal the other.
The range of his themes broadened to include references to ancient Hebrew, Muslim and Egyptian history, as in the large painting Götterdämmerung (1998-2018).
His works happen for several phases, with the call "under cover painting" and this way he declares "...over there take unchangeable places and unstoppable dimensions of time that they are frozen on the linen".
In 1997, after twenty years of working in Götterdämmerung, the artist left Germany to travel around the world—to Africa, Mexico, China, Thailand, Indonesia, Australia, and Egypt.
Taking 20 years to create this piece which icons, and produce a speech that begins even with the right other the left hand, they are Children of Jerusalem, both hanged by an enormous octopus, while the speech continues you can reach many episodes from Bible and Greek mythology, in the middle of the triptych it is a big head stand for Human-being, which they have the key for the future, behind the big head are two open doors: it is the future.
He asked Italian art critic, Augusto de Marchiani to write a text for the catalog about the future of Human-being, finding it entire unique.
Friedrich built up a collection of natural objects; skulls, rocks, metals, wood, which he would use to provide inspiration for organic forms.
He performed exhibitions, along with Helmut Schober, in the Angel Orensanz Center New York City showing up his Darwinian and pantheism convictions, where he used the 4th.
Exhibitions in Marbella, Spain, at prestigious Museum Cortijo de Miraflores, where sustaining Fin de Ciel exhibited one of the Collection called Hijos del Sol philosophy and maya culture about December 2012 marked the conclusion of a bʼakʼtun—a time period in the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, used in Central America prior to the arrival of Europeans.
Although the Long Count was most likely invented by the Olmec, that is the last Maya 2012 year where drama, chaos, reaction, and all changeable forms are involved in an inherent mystic fractal of the future.
