Hayes Friedman brings a reverence for tradition to the
Arts Club with her latest collection of paintings. 
Friedman builds and embellishes the surface of her
compositions with successive transparent layers; the results are intricately
worked visions of the human form, especially the female figure. An homage
to art history and a fascination with sculpture and architecture are evident
in the work. It is impossible not to see the influence of the Grecian masters
and a bit of the whimsy of Surrealism in these intriguing creations. Friedman
prefers not to make a direct statement about the collection, instead she
says, " My work is composed of fragments from past, almost forgotten
worlds...The work is not obvious and hopes to remain mysterious." Friedman
has exhibited her work throughout the United States. (right: Angel
