He brings a personal sensibility to the stylish era of the 1930s and the high art of the 1950s. From these two periods, he has distilled an intriguing style that captures an aura of glamour and prosperity. Freyman's art boldly presents elegant and sensual figures who inhabit sophisticated urban spaces. His images, set in social or public settings, are alternately elegant, humorous, secretive, mysterious, interactive, or aloof—always distinctly urban and seductive. Freyman's masterful use of airbrush technique has enabled him to create limited editions in which each piece is unique. Produced in multiples that are signed and numbered, each is individually hand-produced by the artist. This technique allows for variations within each edition of certain background patterns and textures, adding to their uniqueness. Freyman's work acknowledges the Cubist influences that inspired much of the Art Deco period of the 1930s. Flat planes, softly modulating into a gracefully articulated balance of crisp lines and fluid contours, characterize his style. A soft palette, predominantly greys and pinks, provides a conscious understatement to the boldly drawn forms, making the subtle colors a strong dynamic in his overall composition. 284
