Review

" Katrin Fridriks works form a third dimension, which modernizes abstract expressionism and transfers it to our time. "

" Katrin Fridriks images do indeed seem as if Jackson Pollock was transferred into a new era. Blobs and lines that were dripping directly from the tube onto the canvas, act here as paired with the Whole Cars ( fully painted train cars ) the graffiti scene. "
