Terri Fridkin, MUSE GalleryMy Better Half, monoprint by Terri Fridkin, MUSE Gallery

“Local printmaker Terri Fridkin will be having her first solo show entitled In Reverse at MUSE Gallery, 52 N. 2nd Street in Old City Philadelphia from October 1 through November 2, 2014. The public is invited to a First Friday Reception on October 3, 5- 7 PM and an Artist’s Reception on Saturday, October 18, 3- 5 PM.  She will also be participating in POST, Philadelphia Open Studio Tour on Saturday and Sunday, October 25 and 26, from noon until 5 PM.

Terri Fridkin is a National Honor Society Graduate of Drexel University Nesbitt College of Design Arts. She worked in the industry for many years and took classes in different media, finally finding herself in a printmaking class. This fueled her lifelong passion for art so she left work to devote more time to fulfill this dream, studying printmaking at various studios and art centers in Pennsylvania and New York.

Since exhibiting her work in 2012, Terri Fridkin has been in numerous invitational and juried shows. Selected exhibitions include Woodmere Art Museum, The State Museum of Pennsylvania, City Hall in Philadelphia, Widener University and various art centers and diverse venues in the tristate area. Terri is a member of MUSE Gallery, The American Color Print Society, and The Cheltenham Guild of Printmakers. Her work is in private collections in New York and Pennsylvania.

Her design background and years of meticulous and precise renderings have influenced her current work. Structure, pattern, line, and color, are the underpinnings of her prints. They provide discipline and a comforting sense of order to counteract the uncertainty and chaos that exists in our world today.

Terri Fridkin’s fascination with printmaking is influenced by the fusion of techniques along with the spontaneous and intuitive creative process. Each hand-pulled layer is formed by the previous one, which dictates the next, as the composition develops a strong graphic imagery. This is achieved by using multiple plates and matrices with transparent and opaque layers of soy-based inks, her medium of choice, along with water based inks, and acrylics. Experimentation, invention, and discovery are the driving forces that inspire her.”

POST, Philadelphia Open Studio Tours, a program of The Center for Emerging Visual Artists is the largest tour of artist studios and creative work spaces in the region, and one of the premier open studio tour events in the country. Each October, the Tours span 20 unique Philadelphia neighborhoods, feature over 300 participants, engage very large audiences As an annual Fall festival of visual art, The Philadelphia Open Studio Tours includes self guided tours of artist studios and related creative work spaces, gallery exhibitions, demonstrations and workshops, artist talks, receptions, and guided tours.

Whenever I go to Twenty-Two Gallery I meet interesting new people. The Summer Group Show introduced me to Sonia Gonzalez, her works in the show are outstanding and different. One is black and white, highly narrative, the other this lavish oil that is more abstract expressionist. Sonia asked me which was my favorite, I love them both.

Summer in the city offers art receptions and parties with the Philadelphians who don’t go down the shore. The artist reception was very lively with conversations about the value of pastoral paintings, breakthrough printmaking process and studio space news. It’s really fun to be part of the group, Twenty-Two Gallery is always so welcoming to me.

“Synthesis” is a series of large scale pigment prints created by combining darkroom chemistry with more exotic elements in solutions and using a 4×5 view camera to photograph the often unpredictable reactions that unfold. The resultant images are gestural, calligraphic forms whose textures and fractal-like patterns are reminiscent of the endlessly repeating structures in nature that exist on multiple scale levels from the sub-atomic to the universal; a reflection of the complex architecture of our universe.”

John Singletary is a Philadelphia based photographer who trained formally at Drexel University and the Community College of Philadelphia and has exhibited work in the Pennsylvania State Museum, The Center for Fine Art Photography, The Photo Review, University of the Arts Gallery 1401, The Seeds Gallery, The Perkins Center for the Arts and other venues.
