About Dwora Fried

Picture
Dwora Fried is an assemblage and collage artist. Born in Vienna, she studied art at Israel's Avni College and received her B.A. at Tel Aviv University. She has been living in Los Angeles since 1978. Of her work, Dwora once said, “I have always felt like an outsider, growing up as a Jew in Austria, being a woman and a lesbian, and my art allows me to reflect that perspective. I collect moments and glimpses of forms, colors, and objects wherever I go, photographing things that are pieces of a puzzle to be put together later in an art piece. The subjects may vary from piece to piece, but there will always be this feeling of displacement, alienation, and entrapment.” For more information about Dwora and her work, visit her website.
