Friedman Fine Art represents the remarkable works of Andrew Saftel. Andrew's work has been the subject of much curatorial and critical acclaim throughout the United States. His mixed media constructions on wood panels incorporate found objects that have an aura of historical significance along with brilliant colors and metaphorical themes. Tennessee painter Andrew Saftel cakes his paintings with information, carving as much as painting diverse signs and symbols onto and into panels surfaced with low-key but luminous color.
Some examples of his works are illustrated below.
