ARTS

Some paintings are built up in a neo-expressionist style. Others have a shamanic stick figures who glow with inner energy or are lined with quasi primitive symbols that resemble Egyptian hieroglyphs; in particular, "The Word of Angels" depicts Friedler's self-conceived language whereby the artist refers to primeval myths that honor the connection between the supernatural and the profane as a theme. The youth language of graffiti also appears in some works.

Biographical connotations are frequent and often ambiguous. In order to gain access into Friedler's work, it is necessary to understand some of the significant events in the artist's history and life such as the Shoah and May 1968. The artist's visual work takes a central place in the Book of Boz and the content forces him to ultimately present his art to a wider audience and correspondingly also confront the contemporary international art scene.
