Artist: Katrin Fridriks

Location: Paris, France

Short Bio:

Iceland-born Fridriks grew up in Luxembourg, where she learned to speak 13 languages by the age of 12. It was her study of Japanese that first sparked an interest in calligraphy, the initial inspiration for her artwork. Combining her own interpretation of this craft with the complex geography of her birthplace and the steady mathematics of music, Fridriks creates vivid canvases that mix the figurative and the abstract. The result is seemingly chaotic, super-bright paintings that have actually been casually yet appealingly ordered.
