We owe much of our modern sensibilities and attitudes towards animals to the Victorians. Spearheaded by Queen Victoria, the formation of RSPCA (the Royal Society of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) and the passing of a number of animal welfare acts mid-century demonstrated a drastic shift in human and animal relations. Once deemed synonymous with inanimate objects, all creatures suddenly gained anthropomorphic characteristics and were worthy of sympathy and Victorians sought to limit their pain and suffering. It may seem strange that holiday greeting cards during this period bore the images of dead birds; however, their presence was founded in the same contemporary ideals. These little slain birds were symbols intended to elicit sympathy for the less fortunate, and were even thought to bring luck to their recipients. These cards also served as memento mori (reminders of the inevitability of death) for the death obsessed Victorians who still held fast to their Christian hope of life after death.

With his work Fric reflects the character of a contemporary society – media intentionally manipulating our lives, omnipresent restrictions, rules, commands determining our lives distinguished by high level of knowing and some kind of a deceptive certainty. Thus his paintings, balancing on the edge of representational and abstract painting, become ,,surreal“ testimonies full of humour, absurdity and coincidence. On his canvases Fric creates a pictorial system full of signs and references to contemporary, media, pseudo heros and pop culture ruled world. Fric is a veratile artist and apart from painting he works in other media as well.
