Damon’s second book, Twonism II, is currently in production with a 2019 release date. Following up his first book on Twonism, he is to have the second completed by summer of 2019. Timothy Johnson is editing the book with Alex Krivanek helping with its designing. Damon has to date released two books including those of Twonism the first book and The Correspondence of Color, a book about color. 

Damon’s self-published book on his personal philosophy, Twonism, can be ordered from lulu.com. Fifty images illustrate the much awated chapters along with a full explanation of Twonism and its couterparts following in the forms of brief thoughts, essays, and poems. This book will provide readers and viewers with a thorough exploration of Freed’s work and thoughts on his dicipline of painting and life.

Tobey Fine Arts is proud to present Gallery Selection: Small Scale Works including artist, John Aslanidis, Shinsuke Aso, Richard Bell, Susann Brännström, Christopher Dean, Damon Freed, Peter Köhler, Karen Schifano and Lorraine Williams.

Continuing the gallery’s commitment to abstraction, this small scale show gives us an opportunity to present many diverse approaches from a group of international artists dedicated to the belief in abstraction as a visual language. These nine artists combine various elements such as conceptual art, post-painterly abstraction, reductive strategies, mysticism and cultural commentary in a visually and intellectually provocative collection of paintings.
Thank you,
