Paintings that don't reveal themselves all at once. Look again. Then closer. Layers on layers on layers. Words under paint. Paint over words.
Jeannine Friedrich makes large abstract paintings that do not reveal themselves at once. Built through layers of colour and texture - marks, overpainting, hidden fragments allowed to stay and speak. LOOK AGAIN. THEN CLOSER.
Words and text have long been part of her visual world. This year she is bringing them further forward - part of the painting itself.
A WORK MAY LOOK COMPLETE BUT IT IS ONLY DONE WHEN SHE STOPS PAINTING ON IT.
She is often just around the corner with a big brush. Ready to undo, disrupt, rebuild. Energy. Movement. Colour. Glitter, when it calls for it.
New paintings. Open studio dates. The odd note from the brush. Rare. Not for everyone. Probably for you.
