Greenhorn. Freije's work is concerned with the comedy of commodified aspiration. Sardonically suggestive, her sculptural presentations confront the desire for the perfect object.
Tintype is delighted to present Kira Freije’s first solo show.
Freije’s work is concerned with the comedy of commodified aspiration. Sardonically suggestive, her sculptural presentations confront the desire for the perfect object.
Materials and craftsmanship are paramount. Freije seeks out exceptional raw materials and investigates how to fashion them into sculptural objects in which pop art conjoins with fetishised desire.: Swank, a gigantic cigarette, is made from Carrara marble, copper and Perspex.
Kira Freije was born in 1985 and graduated from the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art, Oxford in 2011. She was selected for the Red Mansion Prize 2012 and ‘New Sensations’, Saatchi Gallery and Channel 4’s prize for 2011 UK graduates.
