RA Friedman “10 28 20” Drafting lead on acid free drawing paper, 7”. x 7”, 2020
On the two-year anniversary of the pandemic, RA Friedman’s exhibition The Trouble I've Seen: Drawings from The COVID-19 Portrait Project seeks to honor and memorialize the thousands of Americans lost to the virus. Working from obituary and family provided photographs, Friedman along with artists he’s invited to collaborate have drawn portraits of COVID-19 victims as a means of documentation and artistic dialogue. Presenting masterful drawings, large-scale imagery, and installation, Friedman gives voice to the voiceless and ensures that those lost are not forgotten.
RA Friedman is an accomplished artist whose work involves the interplay between the
objectivity of the camera and the subjectivity of the hand-made. Adept at photography, drawing, and recrafting older technologies, Friedman’s work melds the human figure’s ability to convey
intimate and complex states of being with the expressiveness of mark-making and time-based
discovery. Deeply introspective as well as collaborative, his work gives voice to our personal,
artistic, and collective histories. For more information on RA Friedman’s work: http://www.rafriedman.com/pandemic
