Al Freeman (artist) explained
Al Freeman (born in 1981 in Canada) is a New York–based artist.[1] In her sculptures, Freeman reproduces everyday objects at an exaggerated scale, rendering them puffy and tactile. By presenting her works as partially deflated, she playfully imbues objects like a beer can, a hammer, or a lava lamp with a message of subverted masculinity.[2]

Freeman is currently represented by Carl Kostyál and 56 HENRY, which featured her in Soft Dirty Blonde in 2023[3] , Floors in 2022[4] , sweaty gray cotton tank top in 2020[5] , and Cubicle in fall 2019.[6] She also presented Pillows at Felix, Los Angeles, earlier that year, a reprisal of the exhibition first shown in 2017 at 56 HENRY.[7] Other solo shows include: PAINTING, Carl Kostyál, London (2021)[8] Mossgrön, Carl Kostyál, Canadian Embassy Tegelbacken 4, Stockholm(2020)[9] Even More Comparisons, NADA Miami (2018),[10] and More Comparisons, Bortolami Gallery, New York (2018).[11] Freeman also had solo exhibition at Auroras, Sao Paolo and Empajada, Puerto Rico.[12]
