Louis Buhl & Co. is pleased to release a new series of monoprints with Sam Friedman. A pivotal moment in the artist’s work stems from an experience of walking towards the sunset during an oncoming storm. This personal encounter of induced visual clarity prompted the artist to create his “Beach Paintings,” which have become a hallmark of his work. This latest monoprint series aptly reflects Friedman’s larger body of work, and continues to demonstrate his ability to move between representation and abstraction with seeming ease. 

Each unique work was created through the unique combinations of films that were hand-drawn by Friedman to endure a more painterly effect. Working closely with the printers, Friedman then built each individual work intuitively, layer by layer, with no preconceived plans for color or composition.
