About Sam Friedman
Sam Friedman (b. 1984, Oneonta, New York) is a contemporary artist recognized for his exploration of paint, tools, and surfaces in relation to the human experience. He studied illustration and typography at the Pratt Art Institute and has exhibited his work across the United States, Europe, and Asia.
Friedman fluidly transitions between representational and abstract styles, creating artworks that resist linear narratives and invite infinite interpretations. His paintings are rooted in the tradition of American Abstract Expressionism, emphasizing methodical processes and repetition while allowing for spontaneous, instinctive creation. He embraces imperfections by premixing colors and applying them freehand, rather than seeking a manufactured finish.
His recent work, including large-scale "Cave Paintings," delves into existential themes and how individuals construct personas in an overstimulating world. These pieces aim to foster serenity and a connection to nature, reflecting Friedman’s personal journey, including his autism diagnosis, and celebrating diverse ways of being and perceiving the world.

About Josh Sperling
Josh Sperling (b. 1984, Oneonta, New York) is an American contemporary artist recognized for his vibrant geometric paintings and sculptures that seamlessly blend abstraction and design. After earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the State University of New York at Potsdam in 2006, Sperling developed a distinctive visual language characterized by dynamic, curving forms reminiscent of the aesthetics of the 1960s and 70s.
Sperling’s works often utilize plywood panels as supports, allowing him to create sculptural reliefs that burst with color and energy. His artistic practice draws on a wide range of influences, including pop art, graphic design, architecture, and popular culture. By employing saturated, sometimes clashing colors, he crafts intricate compositions that challenge the boundaries between painting and sculpture.
In addition to his fine art, Sperling also explores furniture design, infusing utility into his artistic language. His unique approach allows for a playful interaction between his artworks and their environments, transforming spaces into immersive experiences. Exhibited internationally—from New York to Tokyo and Paris—Sperling’s innovative style has captivated collectors and art enthusiasts alike.
Influenced by historical movements such as minimalism and postmodernism, Sperling's work reflects a synthesis of art and visual culture. He draws inspiration from various sources, including roadside signage, architectural styles like Googie, and the works of influential artists such as Keith Haring and Ellsworth Kelly. Through his joyful and energetic creations, Josh Sperling reinvents geometric abstraction for the 21st century, establishing himself as a prominent voice among emerging contemporary artists.
