Isit

2022

This large scale painting demonstrates Frize's signature approach to abstraction through fluid, gestural mark making and chromatic intensity. Luminous washes of color, including vibrant blues, pinks, yellows, and greens, flow across the canvas in sweeping vertical and curved movements, creating a sense of dynamic energy and visual depth. At the composition's center, delicate branching lines suggest organic forms, possibly evoking natural phenomena like lightning or root systems, rendered in darker tones that provide focal contrast. The work oscillates between representation and pure abstraction, with drips and runs of paint creating vertical rhythms that emphasize the materiality of the medium itself.
