Frederick Sommer

Frederick Sommer's untitled drawing on metal foil showcases the artist's experimental approach to mark-making, as intricate lines and forms are etched or drawn across a luminous, reflective surface. The metallic ground lends the work a shimmering, otherworldly quality, blurring the boundary between drawing and sculpture. Sommer's characteristic blend of surrealist sensibility and meticulous craft transforms the humble material into a richly textured visual field.
