"Knock! Draw! Loose! Yeah, well, seldom do we take aim at the actual problem and even then firepower ain’t the solution. Whatever. It’s an excuse to draw zebras (possibly one of my favorite animals as I’ve actually seen them do their thing in The Wild). I know that the theme of the show is “Feral”, which, to me, suggests displaced animals in an urban setting or possibly just awful behavior. Bueno. Animals in The Wild are not displaced or misplaced. It’s just the deal. And fuckin’ A - Why not zebras? I like to draw them. What if your town was overrun by zebras? Perhaps you’d hire an Errant Knight or (a very errant) hunter. Perhaps you’d cower in terror and never leave your home because of The Striped Plague. I don’t know (As a bona fide conspiracy theorist even I believe you are safe). Ojalá que nos veamos en la explosión! Peace and Love! - Rick"
Rick Fröberg is visual artist and composer based in San Diego, California. Born the seventh of nine children into crushing poverty in Potterstown, West Virginia he displayed at an early age a gift for formal and abstract composition and was subsequently awarded a scholarship from the prestigious Hochschule für Furzschnüffeln und Hund Trittkunst in Düsseldorf, Germany directly under the tutelage of Alfred Von Beschissene-Hosen - well known in Germany and abroad as the founder and spiritual father of Die Gepflasterte Anusschule. After forty years of struggle, destitution and obscurity, his work, by happenstance, was discovered by renowned East Coast curator Todd Appleby Wadgobbler and through this and other important associations, he won his first ever museum residency at the Trenton City Museum in Trenton, New Jersey, after which he relocated to San Diego immediately and permanently. “Feral” is his second collaboration with Trash Lamb Gallery.
