Frede's painted works are inseparable from his comprehensive understanding of digital image processing. Unyielding grids of serial rectangles, which, in a way, are pixels The work is about more than just the craft of digital image processing, it is about the way in which the artist's work has been transformed into a digital medium. And yet it is about more than a technical implementation of digital design possibilities, for in his pictures he falls back on quite classical art-historical topoi. The strictness of the composition is reminiscent of the constructivists of classical modernism, the application and progression of paint of American action painting, or the golden backgrounds of the paintings of the rapture of the motifs in Byzantine tradition. Frede's paintings translate these traditions carefully and vividly into our cultural horizon, which is increasingly shaped by digital processes. Acrylic paint spatulaed on canvas with colour highlighted rectangles and painted shadow effects. Framing by the artist is possible.

Germany
Frede grew up in Sondershausen (Kyffhäuserkreis), graduated from high school in 2000 and then moved to Cologne for his civilian service. At that time he already started working as a freelance artist and self-taught photographer. Mostly active as an artist on a project basis until 2014, Frede has been working in his own studio in Cologne-Porz since 2015. Work As a freelance artist, Frede is concerned with the translation of traditional concepts of painting and photography into the ways of seeing everyday life, which are increasingly shaped by digital processes. From 2004 to 2012, he initially designed backdrops for various theatre plays consisting of pure canvas projections. In this collaboration with theatre director Gregor Leschig ("Netaffairs - Heiner Müller's Quartet and Life on the Internet", "Bin ich Arbeit?[1]" and "Play Sisyphos"), socio-critical themes move to the centre of his works. His exhibition "gemalte Kästchen" ("Painted Boxes") first attracts greater attention, which later reappears in various group and solo exhibitions as "Serielle Rechtecke" ("Serial Rectangles"). In 2016, Frede initiated his photographic intervention "I was here" for the first time. This confronts people living today with the German past at perpetrator sites of the Nazi era. With the photo series "Young Men and Carcasses" he is represented in exhibitions worldwide in 2017 - 2018. In his latest pictures, Frede addresses the 4th industrial revolution by having robots work for him in increasingly independent ways. In his diverse works, Danny Frede deals with questions of the digital revolution, consumption and problems of automation.
