Jake Fried is an artist who began his career as a painter. As he went
through the process of layering and modifying images, he became
interested in the way the image changed over time. Thus, he changed
direction to become an animator. Fried works with ink and white
correction fluid, sometimes adding gouache, collage and even coffee to
generate hallucinatory stop motion animations. He modifies and
photographs the artwork over and over to create an image that evolves
rapidly over the course of the short (typically one-minute long)
video. His animations have been shown internationally, including at
the Tate Modern and the Sundance Film Festival.He currently teaches at
the Massachusetts College of Art & Design and the Museum of Fine Arts,
Boston.
