About the Gallery
Founded in 2013 and located in New York, NY and Beacon, NY, Fridman Gallery represents artists working across disciplines, from painting and sculpture to video and sound art. We host performances, publish artist books, and release vinyl records. Our Beacon location is home to an international artist residency, and the NYC gallery invites a curator-in-residence each year.
About the presentation
Fridman Gallery will present paintings by Fidelis Joseph and sculptures by Terrence Musekiwa in a dual exhibition. Moving from figuration to abstraction, Joseph’s practice fuses his life experiences in Nigeria and the United States. The distortion of the subject matter resonates with the emotional interplay of both familial pride and fear of loss. Musekiwa comes from a long line of sculptors, steeped in the ancestral tradition of stone carving in his native Zimbabwe. His syncretic visual language simultaneously challenges and pays homage to that tradition, combining stone elements with a myriad of found and industrial objects to introduce a dialogue about present-day Zimbabwe.
