The artist is best known for his 80's style which draws heavily on Art Deco and Cubism.

Freyman was born in Leningrad. U.S.S.R. in 1932. Erik Freyman brings a personal sensibility to the stylish era of the 1930's and high art of the 1950's Style. He has distilled from these two periods an intriguing style that captures an aura of glamour and prosperity. He gives us a bold, straightforward presentation of elegant and sensual figures who inhabit a sophisticated urban milieu. Posed in settings that are social of public his images are alternately elegant, humorous, secretive, mysterious, interactive or aloof, distinctly urban and seductive. Freyman's masterful use of airbrush technique has enabled him to create limited editions in which each piece is, in fact. unique. Freyman's work acknowledges the Cubist influences that inspired much of the Art Deco period of the 1930's. Flatplanes, softly modulating into a gracefully articulated balance of crisp lines and fluid contours, set the characteristic style of the work. A soft palette, predominately grays and pinks, is a conscious understatement to the boldly drawn forms, and thus, subtle colors in Freyman's work become a strong dynamic to his overall composition.
